Celebrate more than 75 years of Limón Dance Company with this program of new and reconstructed works highlighting choreographer José Limón’s unique contributions to dance. In addition to Limón’s classic solo, Chaconne, the evening features Danzas Mexicanas, Missa Brevis, which incorporates dancers from Santa Barbara Dance Theater and Migrant Mother, a new commission by contemporary Mexican choreographer Raúl Tamez, who was honored with a 2022 Bessie Award for creating this powerful reflection on the migrant experience.
