José Limón believed that dance should reflect both the heights and the depths of human experience—works like There Is a Time, drawn from Ecclesiastes, and The Moor’s Pavane, based on Othello, illustrate his concerns. But Limon died in 1972, and since then his Limón Dance Company has been searching for new takes on such humanist themes. Being performed tonight and Friday, the latest addition to its repertory is Come With Me, by Rodrigo Pederneiras. (Saturday is Limón only.) Come With Me is inspired by The Ladies in White, Cuban women who publicly protest the imprisonment of dissidents. Pederneiras, known to local audiences as the choreographer of the ebullient Brazilian troupe Grupo Corpo, is now addressing more serious topics. Limón would approve. SANDRA KURTZ
