Compagnie Hervé KOUBI: Sol Invictus

About this event

Run Time: 75 minutes, no intermission. A jubilant ritual full of love and light from the acclaimed French-Algerian ensemble Compagnie Hervé KOUBI. Named after the “invincible sun” deity, Sol Invictus upholds love as the guarantor of peace, that despite fracture, communion emerges as humanity’s saving grace. A vivid celebration of solidarity and the bonds that unite us, in Sol Invictus the sun will emerge victorious. The score includes a composition by Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson, with excerpts by Steve Reich and digital composer Maxime Bodson. “The dancers of Compagnie Hervé KOUBI could be mistaken for gods.” (The New Yorker) About Compagnie Hervé KOUBI: Absolutely unique and utterly original, this fearless, powerful company reigns from France, Algeria, and beyond. Combining contemporary and urban dance movements, capoeira, and martial arts with powerful imagery and inspired choreography, the dancers defy gravity.
