Odyssey

While the previous pieces Ce que le jour doit à la nuit and Les nuits barbares ou les premiers matins du monde were built with a male dancers team, Hervé Koubi, wants, with his dancers, and with the singer and musician Natacha Atlas, go further beyond the continuity, where femininity exists under all the figures of re-union.

Natacha Atlas, has agreed to mix the grace of her tone of voice alternately crystalline and a mystical spell, and especially her poetic world of uprooting, to that of Hervé Koubi.

Natacha Atlas, through the eyes of Hervé Koubi, will embody the woman, all women and the stake of the return of Ulysses, who will be incarnated by all the dancers of the company, is that of love. But of a love reflected here by the kaleidoscope of the woman's gaze.

Doctor of Pharmacy – PhD in Biology, Hervé Koubi led at the same time his studies at the Faculty of Aix Marseille and the beginning of his career as a dancer - choreographer.

Dancer at the National Choreographic Center of Nantes Claude Brumachon and Benjamin Lamarche then at the National Choreographic Center of Caen with Karine Saporta and the Thor Company in Brussels with Thierry Smits, he created his choreographic project in 2000.

His choreographic work was born from a mixture of techniques and influences, at the crossroads of urban dances and ballet. Hervé Koubi today wishes to question these choreographic languages to get rid of a unique technique and develop a new style of writing.

Considering the porosity of techniques between them as a space for experimentation and going beyond technical and aesthetic frameworks and affiliations, he now wishes to pose the precisely blurred borders of a ballet of the 21st century, precisely open and current.

Choreographer committed in the developpement of dance for the communities, it is also in the encounter and sharing between his works, his audiences and his practices that he develops numerous projects of territories and artistic education.

He was awarded in July 2015 with the Order of the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres by Brigitte Lefèvre.
