Martha Graham's ballet to music by Carlos Chávez, premiered in 1946 after Graham replaced the original Medea scenario with a new one exploring rebirth and immortality.
Jiří Kylián’s contemporary dance work was inspired by traditional dances of Aboriginal Australians and is set to Carlos Chávez’s Toccata for Percussion Instruments.
During the Black Death, Lauretta, Elissa, Panfilo, and Dioneo shelter in a villa and pass the time by staging plays. A monk arrives and proposes a Biblical play; afterward he opens the door to strangers carrying the plague and dies. Two months later, sick and dying visitors fill the courtyard. Lauretta recovers and realizes she loves Panfilo, who has returned from the city. Elissa, who also loves him, forgives them after Dioneo falls gravely ill. At his request the group resumes the Cupid and Psyche play, ending with Venus’s forgiveness and the lovers’ triumph.
