WOW. Thank you so much for posting this! Am finally going to be seeing the Limon Company - FINALLY, for the 1st time! (“Better Late Than Never”) @ NJPAC, Newark this weekend. This unbelievably strong, powerful work makes me even more excited! 🙏🏽 ♥️
The original work, as performed on stage, had no voiceover. I feel it is stronger without the narration. Everything one needs to know is communicated with the dance and evocative music.
Oh, agreed. This film was probably distributed through educational sources and the narration added for more explanatory purposes. Still great to see the original cast in color!
rpf16mm Absolutely. I've seen the Limon Company perform this several times, though of course without Mr. Limon (since he died in '72). It is a sign of a great performer that one can still feel his strong presence through the camera lens.
Limon 's masterpiece and indeed one of the very greatest of all modern dances

Love this, the great creation of Jose Limón

amazing, can i use this quote in my essay?
Agree. Everything is conveyed through movement and music alone. An extraordinary synthesis by which an attentive viewer understands the plot
