Visionary choreographer Hervé Koubi blends contemporary movement, capoeira, and urban dance into fearless, gravity‑defying performances. The Boston premiere of Sol Invictus—named for the “invincible sun” deity of ancient Rome—upholds love as the guarantor of peace, suggesting that even in moments of fracture, communion remains humanity’s enduring strength. Set to a score by Mikael Karlsson with excerpts by Steve Reich and Maxime Bodson, the work becomes a radiant meditation on light, solidarity, and the bonds that unite us.
“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
