Abstract:
Three of the most famous works by the Mexican-American choreographer, José Limón: in The moor's pavane, Limón distills the legend of Othello into a one-act drama; In The traitor, Judas is portrayed as if he were in modern times against a music score of violence, passion and tenderness; and in The Emperor Jones, based upon the play by Eugene O'Neill, a fugitive from a chain gang sets himself up as the ruler of an island domain.
