Cie Hervé Koubi: Sol Invictus

The second and last performance for this spectacular season opener at the NYUAD Arts Center. This new show from the returning Compagnie Hervé Koubi features no fewer than 17 male and female dancers who perform as a cohesive unit, emphasising collective responsibility and personal accountability that celebrates the unifying power of dance in a turbulent world. When this show premiered in New York earlier this year the New York Times called it “thrilling … amazing … the dancers’ extraordinary moves are integrated into a poetic vision … the distinctive aesthetic achievement of this company is to make those extraordinary acrobatics and hip-hop power moves feel at times pedestrian, almost like walking”.
