Imagine hip-hop colliding with ballet in midair while the dancers also manage to solve world peace
Prepare to be dazzled by the brilliance of choreographer Hervé Koubi as he returns to The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi this September.
On 5-6 September, he will unleash his latest masterpiece, Sol Invictus.
If you thought dance couldn’t get more luminous, think again. This isn’t just dance; it’s a full-on solar flare, with seventeen dancers channeling the energy of a Roman god—and perhaps some hidden hip-hop deities too.
Sol Invictus is where contemporary dance meets the street with a flourish of classical elevation and a dash of aerial wizardry.
Imagine hip-hop colliding with ballet in midair while the dancers also manage to solve world peace—well, almost.

With a troupe tighter than a solar eclipse, these performers aren’t just dancing for themselves; they’re dancing for humanity. No pressure, right?
Koubi’s ode to the unconquered sun—yes, he’s talking about Sol Invictus—celebrates the passing of dark times and the anticipation of brighter days.
Who knew a Roman festival could get so lit?
But Koubi isn’t just playing with light; he’s shedding light on solidarity and love, proving that, despite the chaos of the world, we can still dance our way to a better tomorrow.
So grab your shades, because this dance is on fire!
