This powerful and evocative piece explores themes of symbolic domination, colonization, and creolization, paying homage to the majesty of pre-Hispanic heritage in Mesoamerica. Don’t miss this extraordinary celebration of the resilience and beauty of indigenous cultures.

The Limón Dance Company makes its Spoleto return in collaboration with the Festival Chorus. This mesmerizing evening of dance and music includes a breathtaking performance of Missa Brevis, a Limón masterpiece. Set to Zoltán Kodály’s rich and resilient choral classic, composed during the darkest days of World War II, this piece stands as a testimony of enduring humanity, pushing the spirit to resurrect and sustain.
