This is a story about a path, it’s always about a path... Five years have been lived between France and Algeria, on opposite shores of the Meditarranean, the famous sea that is at the origin of these unrooted people with similar pedigree and fundamental backgrounds entranched in those whom we call Meditarraneans.
The barbarous nights or the first dawns of the world takes root from this awe-inspiring and unavoidable story of our Mediterannean basin. I think it is necessary for everyone to believe in a universal culture which is at once shared, mixed and linked in order to wish for an inevidably common future.
Who were these Barbarians storming in from the North, the mysterious people of the sea that were often described in the Bible, chronicles, and ancient monuments often talk about without really describing who they were or where they came from? Who were these Barbarians of the East, these Persians, Ionias and Babylonians, the Arabo-Muslims? From what unknown, forgotten, reworked, assimilated or erased History from which we have inherited?

Hervé KOUBI
Roots in Algeria , pharmaceutical doctor , Hervé Koubi decided to concentrate on a career as dancer - choreographer and his studies in Aix - Marseilles .
Continued at the International Dance Center Rosella Hightower in Cannes and later at the Opera of Marseilles , he has worked with Jean-Charles Gil , Jean-Christophe Paré , Emilio Calcagno and Barbara Sarreau
“Through a gripping, intoxicating dance, he takes a sensitive look at the history of the Mediterranean basin and brings to life the intermingling of cultures in a creation of unprecedented, luminous beauty. Portés, somersaults and acrobatics, sumptuous tableaux follow one another, combining raw strength, intense, precise dancing and gleaming costumes, somewhere between a hypnotic war parade and contemporary ballet with a hip-hop twist.”
“14 dancers engage in physical performances as incredible as they are aerial. Breathtaking in their fluidity and lightness, these warriors - combining hip hop, acrobatics, lifts and jumps that are more than a little perilous for the average person - deliver a choreography that is as graceful as it is powerful...”
“the audience gave a standing ovation [...] to the fabulous energy of Koubi's dancers. ”
