The Esbenshade Series and Marietta College Presents: Compagnie HERVÉ KOUBI

This internationally recognized company blends contemporary and urban dance, capoeira, and martial arts into performances that seem to defy gravity. Their latest work, Sol Invictus, explores light, solidarity, and the bonds that connect us. Inspired by Artistic Director Hervé Koubi’s Algerian roots, it is both athletic and deeply poetic. 

 The New York Times calls their work “a creation of poetic beauty.”

These events have been funded by the Frederica G. Esbenshade Memorial Fund, which provides annual income for the purpose of bringing lectures, performing artists, and programs of diverse nature to the campus and community at large. The endowed fund was established in 1980 by Harry H Esbenshade Sr., and Harry H. Esbenshade Jr., husband and son, respectively, of the late Mrs. Esbenshade of Uniontown, Pennsylvania. All events are free and open to the public.
