Inside

A dance theater full of light, power, and cosmopolitan poetry

With “Sol Invictus”, the Compagnie Hervé Koubi brings a stage experience to Fürth that celebrates dance as a gesture of life. The choreography combines Hip-Hop physicality with classical elevation, urban energy with lyrical expansiveness, forming a poetic dance theater of great allure.

A choreography between heaven and earth

Hervé Koubi tells stories not with dialogues, but with bodies. Jumps, turns, lifts, and seemingly weightless sequences open a space where the stage becomes a cipher for origin, community, and transformation. The language of movement remains precise and sensual, driven by rhythmic tension and a theatrical atmosphere that keeps drawing the gaze upward.

An evening about connection rather than separation

The production emphasizes the strong image of a shared yet converging world. According to the work description, “Sol Invictus” is understood as a demonstration of life, a celebration of the connections that unite people. Here, dance becomes an attitude: open, generous, universal. This lends the performance the emotional density that characterizes dance theater at its best.

Dramaturgy with breath and dynamics

Since 2017, Koubi has been working closely with Fayçal Hamlat; in this production, music by Mikael Karlsson, Maxime Bodson, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Steve Reich shapes the dramatic backbone. The result is a interplay of contemplative breadth and explosive presence. The choreography stays close to the audience without losing its formal elegance. The quality of movement oscillates between feats of strength and lightness, between urban body art and classical tension.

Press reviews and artistic profile

The New York Times succinctly describes the impression with the sentence: They fly. They spin. They change how you see the amazing. Other international reviews also highlight the blend of athletic virtuosity and poetic vision. Hervé Koubi, who became a choreographer after obtaining a doctorate in pharmacy, has established himself as a distinctive voice in contemporary dance with his company.

What the audience can expect in Fürth

On May 4, 2026, an intense dance event of about 70 minutes will unfold in the Grand House of the Fürth City Theater. “Sol Invictus” promises a stage experience full of light, movement drive, and emotional precision. Those who love dance theater will experience an evening that opens both heart and perception. A must-see live.
