Imagine an explosion of movement. A vibrant playground where hip hop meets acrobatics, gravity is challenged and light always prevails. With the Sol Invictus<\/em> French-Algerian choreographer Herv\u00e9 Koubi has created a show that has mesmerised audiences around the world. In November, it will reach our big stage.<\/p>\n

Koubi has brought together battlemasters, street dancers and artists with unique dance techniques from the Amazon to Siberia. The seventeen dancers spin, fly and sweep across the stage in a constant flow; as if they were moving in their own universe where the boundaries of the body cease to exist. Breakdancing, capoeira and aerial acrobatics in a hypnotic symbiosis. At times they spend more time on their heads than on their feet. The next second, someone is thrown through the air, or whirls the stage around in gymnastic back flips. Breathtaking, breathtaking, and in the next moment concentrated stillness and inner beauty.<\/p>\n

In a world that can feel dark and uncertain, Herv\u00e9 Koubi reminds us of the eternal power of community, hope and love. Sol Invictus<\/em> is a performance that defies fear, celebrates life and invites us to seek the light.<\/p>\n

Sol Invictus (The Invincible Sun) refers not only to the Roman sun god but also to the ritual held during the annual Roman Midwinter Festival - a ceremony celebrating the end of the darkest days and the coming of brighter times. \"That celebration, that hopefulness is at the heart of Sol Invictus.\" <\/em>says Herv\u00e9 Koubi.<\/p>\n

What's left? Love!<\/strong><\/span>
\nSOL INVICTUS or how to make fun of death while dancing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Herv\u00e9 <\/span>Koubi on Sol Invictus<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\" For a life filled with the knowledge of happiness... to dance... together<\/em><\/span> - Sol invictus would be like a rebirth for me. To rediscover a vital impetus. To rediscover the childhood of oneself and of everything. For me Dancing and loving are the same.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

With SOL INVICTUS I want to talk about light, love, mutual help, solidarity, binds, those binds that unites us to life.
\nI call to the stage a whole world and its smiles, a liberated spelling in the service of a choreographic writing that goes beyond borders, aesthetics, languages, styles.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I want a dance that laughs, a dance that comes from the heart, from the mouth, from the hips, from the feet on a burning floor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I want to make the stage a playground of all possibilities.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

There is an emergency to unite and inspire hope.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

So there will be circle dances and spirals. Those spirals that raise every one of us thanks to each other, thanks to the Other.<\/em><\/p>\n

All this for a rite, a rite that will be reinvented at each performance to celebrate that we are alive. A rite to marvel at the living. A rite to live together, to silence the bombs and open the door to a humanity aware that it is urgent to take care of the living.<\/em> \"<\/span>

Fr\u00e5n b\u00f6rjan var han s\u00e4rskilt intresserad av traditioner \u2013 b\u00e5de de muntliga och de fysiska \u2013 och hur de f\u00f6rs vidare genom generationer. F\u00f6r honom \u00e4r dans mer \u00e4n bara r\u00f6relse; det \u00e4r ett s\u00e4tt att samla m\u00e4nniskor, skapa gemenskap och bygga broar mellan olika kulturer och bakgrunder. Denna passion f\u00f6r historia, minnen och arv ledde honom 2009 till Algeriet, d\u00e4r han b\u00f6rjade utforska sina egna r\u00f6tter. Under resan fascinerades han av urban dans och de uttryck som v\u00e4xte fram p\u00e5 gatorna. Sedan dess har han sett dansens olika tekniker som en \u00f6ppen experimentyta, d\u00e4r traditionella gr\u00e4nser och estetiska normer kan utmanas och \u00f6verskridas. \r\n\r\nKoube ocks\u00e5 drivit en rad projekt i samarbete med olika lokalsamh\u00e4llen, d\u00e4r han anv\u00e4nder dansen f\u00f6r att st\u00e4rka gemenskap och social sammanh\u00e5llning. \r\n\r\n\u00c5r 2015 tilldelades Herv\u00e9 Koubi den franska orden Ordre des Arts et des Lettres som ett erk\u00e4nnande f\u00f6r hans insatser inom dans och koreografi. \r\n\r\n"}}],"grid_description":"","mobile_featured_image":{"width":320,"height":443,"file":"2025\/04\/Sol_mobil-version.jpg","filesize":86277,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"Sol_mobil-version-253x450.jpg","width":253,"height":450,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":18108,"url":"https:\/\/dansenshus.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sol_mobil-version-253x450.jpg"},"large":{"file":"Sol_mobil-version-576x1024.jpg","width":576,"height":1024,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":55098,"url":"https:\/\/dansenshus.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sol_mobil-version-576x1024.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"file":"Sol_mobil-version-320x443.jpg","width":320,"height":443,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":20416,"url":"https:\/\/dansenshus.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sol_mobil-version-320x443.jpg"},"_50-50":{"file":"Sol_mobil-version-500x500.jpg","width":500,"height":500,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":28192,"url":"https:\/\/dansenshus.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sol_mobil-version-500x500.jpg"},"trp-custom-language-flag":{"file":"Sol_mobil-version-7x12.jpg","width":7,"height":12,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":4170,"url":"https:\/\/dansenshus.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sol_mobil-version-7x12.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1","keywords":[]},"ID":"48067","name":"Sol_mobil-version.jpg","path":"\/home\/9S7ZOrpINF99psLj\/dh-prod\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sol_mobil-version.jpg","url":"https:\/\/dansenshus.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sol_mobil-version-320x443.jpg","full_url":"https:\/\/dansenshus.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sol_mobil-version.jpg","title":"Sol_mobil version","caption":"","description":"","alt":"Sol mobil version","srcset":false},"show_group":[{"show_datetime":"2025-11-19 19:00"},{"show_datetime":"2025-11-20 19:00"},{"show_datetime":"2025-11-21 19:00"}],"featured_image_position":"","event_address":"","event_google_maps_url":"","background_topbanner":"#000000","color_topbanner":"light","overlay_topbanner":"none","gradient_topbanner":"0","reviews":[{"review_source":"The New York Times","review_quote":"What for other dancers might be show-off steps are integrated into a poetic vision, a different way of being.
