Les Nuits Barbares
Ou Les Premiers Matins Du Monde
Hervé Koubi: Künstlerischer Leiter & Choreografie
Musik: Richard Wagner, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Gabriel Fauré, Algerische Volksmusik
Kraftvoll und viril erfüllen sie die Bühne mit ihrer Präsenz: Streetdancer, Hip-Hopper, Artisten und Modern Dance-Künstler aus Algerien, Marokko, Burkina Faso, Frankreich und Israel. Sie alle tanzen in der Kompanie, die Hervé Koubi 2010 gründete. Keiner von ihnen hatte zuvor auf einer Bühne gestanden. Hervé Koubi wählte sie in der Überzeugung, dass nur Talente von der Straße die notwendige Kraft und das Bewegungsvokabular für seine Projekte aufbringen würden. Seither verführen die Tänzer ihr Publikum mit Athletik und Grazie und sahnen reihenweise Preise ab.
Dabei sah Hervé Koubis Weg zunächst sehr anders aus: Er wuchs als Sohn algerischer Einwanderer in Frankreich auf, studierte zunächst Pharmazie und fühlte aber, dass dies nicht seine Berufung war. Er studierte Tanz und Choreografie und kultivierte eine eklektische Bewegungssprache aus Streetdance, Sufi und Hip-Hop als Fundament für seine Choreografien.
In „Les Nuits Barabres“ begibt sich Koubi mit seiner Kompanie auf eine Zeitreise zu den vergangenen Kulturen rund um das orientalische und westliche Mittelmeer. Dafür performen die Tänzerinnen und Tänzer artistisch-virtuos zu klassischer Musik von Mozart, Wagner, Fauré sowie zu rasenden Percussion-Rhythmen; sie werfen ihre Körper in stilisierte archaische Rituale, in denen Helme glitzern und Messer wirbeln. Die Choreografie wurde auf dem internationalen Tanzfestival in Cannes, bei den Ruhrfestspielen Recklinghausen sowie bei Auftritten in den USA verdient frenetisch gefeiert.

The Barbaric Nights
Or The First Mornings of the World
Hervé Koubi: Artistic Director & Choreography
Music: Richard Wagner, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Gabriel Fauré, Algerian Folk Music
Powerful and virile, they fill the stage with their presence: street dancers, hip-hop performers, circus artists, and modern dance creators from Algeria, Morocco, Burkina Faso, France, and Israel. They all dance in the company that Hervé Koubi founded in 2010. None of them had stood on a stage before. Hervé Koubi chose them with the conviction that only street talents would bring the necessary strength and movement vocabulary for his projects. Since then, the dancers have enchanted their audiences with athleticism and grace, winning numerous awards.
Hervé Koubi’s path, however, looked very different at first: he grew up as the son of Algerian immigrants in France, initially studied pharmacy, but felt that this was not his calling. He studied dance and choreography and cultivated an eclectic movement language from street dance, Sufi, and hip-hop as the foundation for his choreographies.
In "Les Nuits Barbares," Koubi and his company embark on a journey through time to the past cultures around the Eastern and Western Mediterranean. For this, the dancers perform artistically and virtuously to classical music by Mozart, Wagner, and Fauré, as well as to racing percussion rhythms; they throw their bodies into stylized archaic rituals where helmets gleam and knives whirl. The choreography was enthusiastically celebrated at the international dance festival in Cannes, at the Ruhrfestspiele Recklinghausen, and during performances in the USA.

Zephyr, the Greek god of gentle western winds, blows across the sea and swirls across the stage. From round openings, which could be portholes of a rusty freighter, bodies emerge; fans swirl the air and create that breath of Zéphyr that enlivens the company: bodies brace themselves in close combat against the wind, screw themselves firmly into the ground, drift, play, fight, and fly. Merzouki's movement language is a fascinating dance with the wind, elegantly shifting between poetic lightness and strength, between archaic figures and city kids in jeans, between contemporary dance and hip-hop.
Choreographer Mourad Merzouki has been one of the most significant players in the hip-hop scene since the early 1990s. With good reason. For on stage, he unites various disciplines with urban dance: circus, martial arts, visual arts, video, and live music. The latter comes from the pen of the congenial French film composer Armand Amar, who has created a sound journey that is both lyrical and stormy from ethnic impressions and driving electroacoustics.
