Kravis Center Announces New Performance Date for Compagnie Hervé KOUBI

The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts today announced a new performance date for Compagnie Hervé KOUBI: What the Day Owes to the Night. Originally scheduled for January 17-18, the PEAK performance will now be presented on Tuesday, January 31, 7:30 pm, in the Kravis Center'S Marshall E. Rinker, Sr. Playhouse.

Born and raised in France with Algerian roots, Hervé Koubi is being hailed as one of Europe's most distinctive choreographers. His company of 12 French-Algerian and West African male dancers makes its Florida debut with What the Day Owes to the Night, a stunning work resplendent with backflips, head spins and emotional intensity. Powerful imagery evocative of Orientalist paintings and the stone filigree of Islamic architecture accompanies the provocative performance.

This PEAK performance is made possible by a grant from the

MLDauray Arts Initiative in honor of Leonard and Sophie Davis, and is made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Beyond the Stage: There will be a free post-performance talk by Steven Caras immediately following the performance. Beyond the Stage is sponsored by Nancy and Jay Parker.
