Absolutely unique and utterly original, this fearless company defies gravity. Bringing together dancers of diverse nationalities–some from communities not often expected to share a stage–Compagnie Hervé Koubi blends contemporary and urban dance, capoeira, and martial arts with powerful imagery and inspired choreography, showcasing the incredible unifying power of dance. Founded in 2000, Koubi discovered his Algerian roots a decade later and began collaborating with Algerian street dancers. His works soon expanded to include performers from across the Mediterranean basin, and today, Sol Invictus, features dancers from around the world. Described by The New York Times as “a creation of poetic beauty”, this meditative yet athletic work that explores the ties that bind us.

Sol Invictus, derived from the “invincible sun” deity, upholds love as a guarantor of peace, where communion emerges as humanity’s saving grace, despite fracture. The score features music by Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson, with excerpts by Steve Reich and digital composer Maxime Bodson.
