ABOUT THE PIECE

CE QUE LE JOUR DOIT À LA NUIT / WHAT THE DAY OWES TO THE NIGHT

When I was young, before I discovered the Art of Dance and became fully devoted to it, I was fascinated by drawing. Today, I keep this same preoccupation in what I call, in my work, my taste for the construction of the gesture and its setting in space. Where I leave, where I am going, what will be my path...I probably kept this unspeakable taste to leave the trace of the artistic gesture coupled with a concern that heart, the relationship to time.

To create the choreographic material by defining the frameworks of an issue where space and time would be the tools, where the danced movement would be the thread, where the choreographic construction would be an entanglement, the better the complex weaving leading to a work comparable to that of a lace: a score. My milestones are thus posed for this transposition, better still this dematerialization of this object called art, into a movement danced by definition ephemeral. A dematerialization which in a paradoxical way gives all the material to the dance.

For this work I would like to rely on an historical element in order to find the frames that will inspire the forms, the gestures and then the choreographic phrases, that of one of the supposed origins of the lace, that coming from the Orient and connected to the embroidery. Algeria is not the Orient and yet it is the landof this great artistic and literary current called Orientalism. So it is such a 19th century orientalist who came to Algeria to give life to his dreams of the Orient that I would like to give life to my dreams as a child born in France and who only discovered its true origins and those of his two parents, ethnic Algerians. "What The Day Owes To The Night - novel by Yasmina Khadra, Director of the Algerian Cultural Center in Paris - is at that moment and at the same place where my parents left everything as they say.

Going on the quest of this day to give it strength and form as one goes in search of the Truth or more exactly of a truth. Lace is above all by definition a way of creating the "day," the day in a fabric, the day in the material...

...the day in my history and why not, without appearing too ambitious and even less pretentious, in history. It constitutes an ideal "pretext," a marvelous transposition of my paths and those traversed by each of the dancers encountered in Algeria, as so many threads mingling and intertwining, so many links also unite us in a history and a geography, that of the great Mediterranean basin.

To celebrate the lace in its refinement, its beauty while attaching itself to a work of memory. This project is at the crossroads of two preoccupations: my taste for the construction and the danced composition and a deep need to bring me closer to my origins in the land of Algeria. Links to be found, others to be renewed and still others to be built."

I went there to the other side of the sea which saw me grow up on an unknown land which was nevertheless mine.

I went there to see the streets, the houses and the tombs.

I went there without knowing what I was looking for.

I went there to face the emptiness.

I went there to meet my lost brothers.

I went there and my tears flowed at the oblivion and the cruel time that had passed.

I went there and brought back to my heart my finally found brothers.

I went there full of brotherly love nowhere else known.

I went there out of love for them and for mine.

I went there because I believe in the power of love and spirit.

I went there.

I went there...

ABOUT HERVÉ KOUBI

HERVÉ KOUBI (Choreographer). Trained at the “school of dance,” notably with Rosella Hightower, Hervé Koubi decided in 2000 to develop his first choreographic project. It is the tradition, and all the verbal and physical transmission that it carries within it, which captures his interest. A dance that gathers, that unites, that makes links between people.

This passion for memory, filiation, and history led him to Algeria in 2009 in search of his own roots. There, he was struck by urban dancers and urban practice. Since then, he considers the porosity of the techniques between them as a space of experimentation which would exceed the frameworks and the technical and aesthetic affiliations. As a committed choreographer, he develops numerous territorial projects with the communities. He was decorated in July 2015 with the Order of Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres by Brigitte Lefèvre.

"If he can make worlds as largely absorbing as the one he conjures here, he is an important addition to dance." – The New York Times, Alastair Macaulay

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION

The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a nonprofit organization, has proudly served the dance community for more than four decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and The Joyce renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther’s clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 475 U.S.-based and international companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through off-site presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (1st–12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists. The Joyce’s annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 300 performances for audiences of over 100,000. Visit Joyce.org for more information.

FUNDERS

Many Thanks to The Joyce's Institutional Funders for Keeping Us Moving Forward

An abundance of gratitude to Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Representative Jerrold Nadler, and Representative Nydia M. Velázquez for their visionary leadership that established the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program, which made the reopening of The Joyce Theater in 2021 and the reemergence of many dance companies possible.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Joyce Theater operates on the Lenape island of Manhahtaan (Mannahatta) and acknowledges that it was founded upon the stolen land and erasure of many Indigenous communities. This acknowledgement demonstrates our institution’s commitment to the process of dismantling the legacies of colonialism and cultural imperialism.

We acknowledge the ongoing violence towards Indigenous people through systemic inequality. We pay our respect to the Indigenous peoples who lived and continue to live upon this land, and whose rich history, artistic practices, and spirituality are tied to this land. It is within our responsibility as a cultural institution and our commitment to diversity and inclusion to embody a commitment to Indigenous rights and cultural equity.

We sincerely invite you as an audience member to take a moment to reflect on the history and legacy of displacement, migration, and settlement.

It is our intention to work with local Native American arts councils to better inform our land acknowledgment practices and anticipate that it will evolve over time.
