The Limón Dance Company launches its 80th anniversary season with a bold, intergenerational program that honors eight decades of revolutionary modern dance by its founder, José Limón, while amplifying the voices of today.
The program opens with a new reconstruction of Limón’s The Emperor Jones (1956), a haunting portrait inspired by Eugene O’Neill’s play that explores authority, vulnerability, and the weight of self-mythology. A multi-generational restaging of Limón's 1942 solo Chaconne, and the world premiere by acclaimed Mexican choreographer Diego Vega Solorza. A vital voice in Latin American dance, Vega Solorza brings a personal lens shaped by his experience as a queer Mexican man.
