Limón Dance Company
92nd Street Y

February 19-21

The 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Festival presents the Limón Dance Company under artistic director Carla Maxwell in one of José Limón’s lost works, Dialogues, which hasn’t been seen since the 1960s. “Dialogues is a dramatic dance based on two pivotal moments in Mexican history involving foreign invaders who seeks to dominate, and the Mexican who defends his soil and his integrity. The first dance takes place in 1520 and tells of a confrontation between a Mexican Emperor and a Spanish conquistador. The second dance takes place in 1867 during the second Franco-Mexican War and depicts a battle of wills between an Austrian Archduke and the Mexican President. First, Dialogues is broken down, and Maxwell discusses the tools and processes used to capture this lost gem, revealing how it relates to Limon’s other works; this is followed by a full performance of the dance,” notes the release.  Find out more here
