A dance tribute to life and the bonds between people<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

At the center is the invincible sun and humanity\u2019s enduring reverence and celebration, throughout history, of the life that the sun makes possible for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stage becomes a playground for a diverse group of 17 extraordinary dancers, with backgrounds in a wide variety of dance forms, martial arts, and acrobatics. The dancers come from different parts of the world, from the Amazon to Siberia. Accompanied by a collage of music\u2014ranging from Beethoven to drumbeats\u2014they treat us to a dance that is equally grounded and soaring, flying across the stage to rise toward the light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Declaration of Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Choreographer Herv\u00e9 Koubi describes the performance as his declaration of love for dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to talk about love, mutual aid, solidarity, light, and the connection that unites us to life. It is urgent\u2014not only to bring people together, but also to offer hope. Only by embracing the challenge of living life to the fullest\u2014of bringing light into our own darkness\u2014can our existence find meaning and fulfillment. In Sol Invictus, we celebrate life and mock death as we dance. I want to turn the stage into a playground full of possibilities, welcoming a dance that laughs\u2014a dance that comes from the heart, from the mouth, from the hips, from the feet on a burning earth. As bright as a life filled with the joy of dancing\u2026 together.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the choreographer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Herv\u00e9 Koubi began his career as a dancer at the National Choreographic Center of Nantes. For the past 20 years, he has been working as a choreographer with his own company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His choreographic work stems from a blend of techniques and influences, at the crossroads between urban dance and ballet. Herv\u00e9 Koubi wants to blur the boundaries and create a ballet for the 21st century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July 2015, he was awarded the Order of the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
