Luna Negra Dance Theater
There is a Time
choreographed by Jose Limón
 
 
"Sublime is the word to describe every aspect of "There Is a Time," the rarely seen choreographic masterpiece that was created in 1956 by the Mexican-born, American-based modern dance pioneer Jose Limon. Sublime also is the word to describe the rapturous revival of this work by Chicago's Luna Negra Dance Theater."
- Hedy Weiss, The Chicago Sun-Times

Luna Negra Dance Theater performs There Is a Time by Mexican-born master choreographer José Limón, one of the most prominent American choreographers in modern dance. First premiered in 1956, this classic work is set to a 1957 Pulitzer Prize winning score by Norman Dello Joio and takes its inspiration from Chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes. There Is a Time explores the fundamental human experiences such as birth and death, and all that lies between.
