Compagnie Hervé Koubi: Ce Que le Jour Doit à la Nuit Sunday, October 8, 7 p.m., Flynn MainStage, $15-48.
Mingling performance and story, Compagnie Hervé Koubi explores the choreographer’s Algerian roots through the lens of Yasmina Khadra’s 2010 novel, Ce Que le Jour Doit à la Nuit (What the Day Owes to the Night). Khadra is the pen name of Algerian army officer and author Mohammed Moulessehoul, who took the moniker to avoid military censorship. The story
examines the life of Younes, a Muslim Algerian boy whose life is upended at the onset of the Algerian War (19541962) for independence from France. Koubi explains the motivation behind his work on the dance company’s website: “I would like to give life to my dreams as a child born in France … who discovered belatedly his true origins and those of his parents, Algerians from birth.” The score of the show is as complex as Algeria’s history. Traditional Sufi music intertwines with Western compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach and San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet, among
others. The 17 male dancers, from Algeria and Burkina Faso, whirl through a global vocabulary of movement derived from capoeira, martial arts, hiphop and contemporary dance. Though the piece is based on a narrative, the spectacle is physical. As the Washington Post described it in a 2013 review of the company’s American debut, the performance is “a stunning fusion of acrobatics, gymnastics, b-boying, modern dance and ballet.” S ADI E W I LLI AMS

Opera Company of Middlebury: L’Elisir d’amore
Thursday and Friday, October 12 and 13, 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, October 14, 2 p.m., Town Hall Theater, $45-60.
Donizetti’s popular comedy L’Elisir d’amore (The Elixir of Love), first performed in 1832, tells the story of the poor peasant Nemorino, who falls in love with the beautiful landowner Adina. But the countryside doesn’t inspire Opera Company of Middlebury’s Doug Anderson as a setting, and he’s “never a fan of happy peasants,” he says. So the adventurous director is setting OCM’s staged concert version in a
