Choreographed by José Limón

There Is A Time, one of José Limón's masterpieces, first premiered in 1956 and its commissioned score by Norman Dello Joio won a Pulitzer Prize in 1957. The work explores the issues of war and peace, keeping silent and speaking out, all in the context of a community through which these “times” pass. It is a message of particular timeliness, as we similarly wonder, “Is it a time for war or peace?” “Is it a time to laugh or cry, to speak or keep silent?”

Praise for There Is a Time

"Sublime is the word to describe every aspect of "There Is a Time." Sublime also is the word to describe the rapturous revival of this work by Chicago's Luna Negra Dance Theater. It has tapped into a level of virtuosity and emotional depth in the company's dancers in a way wholly different from that of any other work now in Luna Negra's repertoire." - Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
