Suite from A Choreographic Offering II. The Moor's Pavane III. Psalm Choreographies: José Limón José Limón ...was one of the most influential artists of 20th century American modern dance whose name is preserved in the technique he developed, still widely used throughout the world, and in the still operating company he founded more than sixty years ago. Limón died in 1972 but the José Limón Dance Company, star guest at the 2008 Budapest Spring Festival, continues to preserve and cultivate his masterpieces and legacy. The dancer-choreographer who moved as a child from Mexico to the United States became immortal as a dancer of magnetic power and an innovative choreographer. His creations are marked by passion, complex lighting, deep morality and social responsibility. His highly polished compositions reflect his image of religion and society and his sensitivity. His Missa Brevis (1958) composed to Kodály’s music pays tribute to the freedom fighters of Eastern Europe; The Unsung (1970) salutes the memory of the American native peoples. The world famous company that last visited Budapest in 1998 is once again bringing masterpieces of one of the apostles of modern dance; the three different programmes also include one work each by Limón’s outstanding fellow artists, Jiří Kylián and Susanne Linke.
