Savoir Flair

Savoir Flair attended the Middle East premiere of Sol Invcitus by Hèrve Koubi last week at The Arts Center at New York University Abu Dhabi. Dance Reflections is an inspiring initiative by Van Cleef & Arpels which has supported the creation and presentation of choreographic works globally since 2020. Koubi explores the notion of bridging life and dance through kinetic celestial movement, mainly through hip hop and acrobatics, resulting in an experimental and free-spirited performance. Sol Invictus – ‘The Unconquered Sun’ - refers to the Roman god of the sun, and to a ritual during the annual Roman midwinter festival, which celebrated the passing of the darkest days and anticipated the better, sunnier days ahead. An aspirational reflection of the current times.
