(MONTCLAIR, NJ) -- PEAK Performances at Montclair State University welcomes acclaimed French-Algerian ensemble Compagnie Hervé KOUBI to the Alexander Kasser Theater for Sol Invictus, a breathtaking celebration of solidarity, connection and the enduring bonds that unite us, on Thursday, October 15, 2026 at 7:30pm.
Named after the "invincible sun" deity, Sol Invictus upholds love as the guarantor of peace, that despite fracture, communion emerges as humanity's saving grace. A vivid celebration of solidarity and the bonds that unite us, in Sol Invictus the sun will emerge victorious. The score includes a composition by Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson, with excerpts by Steve Reich and digital composer Maxime Bodson.
The company's signature athleticism and striking physicality are on full display, bringing its themes of unity, resilience and human connection vividly to life. Combining contemporary and urban dance movements, capoeira, and martial arts with powerful imagery and inspired choreography, the dancers defy gravity. The New Yorker declares, "The dancers of Compagnie Hervé KOUBI could be mistaken for gods."
Tickets are available for purchase online. The theater is located at 1 Normal Ave Hall, Suite 171 in Montclair, New Jersey.
Sol Invictus continues PEAK Performances' 2026–27 season of boundary-pushing artists and performances that invite audiences to experience contemporary performance from new perspectives.
