The program highlights the best of the classic and the new. Limón’s World War II-inspired Missa Brevis (1958) will feature the Northrop pipe organ, University Singers and University of Minnesota dance program students. The world premiere of a Northrop Centennial Commission reimagines Limón’s masterpiece The Moor's Pavane (1949), by international choreographer Akram Khan.
The highly anticipated new work brings together the vision of celebrated choreographer Akram Khan with the voices of creative collaborators Aditya Prakash (composer) and Zeynep Kepekli (lighting designer). This one-act version marks the company’s second Centennial Commission — Limón’s largest choreographic commission to date — as well as Khan’s first new creation for an American dance company.

Witness a conversation across decades and generations with the return of Limón Dance Company to Boston. The company brings us an essential José Limón classic—Mazurkas, set to music of Chopin—and marks its 80th anniversary season with a new creation by Akram Khan that reimagines Limón’s indelible The Moor’s Pavane. Through Limón and Khan’s shared histories as storytellers of the immigrant experience, don’t miss this retelling of Othello for today’s dancers, today’s outsiders, today’s world.

Our 80th anniversary celebration bridges legacy and innovation through landmark new work commissions and powerful cultural partnerships, solidifying the company as one of the most vital voices within the landscape of American and global dance.
Our fall NYC season program kicks off with José Limón’s 1958 Mazurkas, featuring live piano accompaniment and performed in its entirety for the first time since 1964. Born from his journey to Poland after World War II, Limón crafts a world of exuberant movement and rich musicality as a tribute to his dancers and the indomitable vitality he witnessed abroad.
​
The program closes with the 2025 commission of Aszure Barton’s Join, created in collaboration with Grammy-nominated composer Ambrose Akinmusire. Together, they take José Limón's vivid, poetic description of a lost Doris Humphrey work and create a new world of spellbinding movement and transcendent storytelling.
