“The dancers of Compagnie Hervé Koubi… could be mistaken for gods. They glide, spin, toss one another in high arcs through the air, exhibiting an uncanny mastery of the body and a gravitas that renders their movements into poetry.” The New Yorker
“In Compagnie Hervé Koubi’s Sol Invictus, the dancers’ extraordinary moves are integrated into a poetic vision.” The New York Times
The 19 dancers of Compagnie Hervé KOUBI are renowned for their electrifying fusion of street dance, contemporary movement and martial arts, creating performances that are physically exhilarating and deeply poetic. In choreographer Hervé Koubi’s latest work, Sol Invictus, love is the guarantor of peace, and despite fracture, communion emerges as humanity’s saving grace. The music score includes a composition by Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson, with excerpts by Steve Reich and digital composer Maxime Bodson. “I want to talk about light, solidarity and those bonds that unite us,” says Koubi. “Here, the sun and the dance will emerge victorious.”
