“Lewis’s working method offers a compelling counterpoint to genealogy. Instead of tracing history’s fissures, she tugs at its contours, distorting them.” —Artforum
Exploring the intersection between pleasure and distress induced by moments of scandal, Berlin-based conceptual choreographer Ligia Lewis’s new work weaves together historical, political, anecdotal, and mythical narratives. Lewis’s dance performance work draws inspiration from people and moments such as Enlightenment thinker John Locke and the 1521 revolt by enslaved people in her family’s home of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; even Lewis’s great-grandmother appears as a guide of resistance. Surprising, deeply layered, and mysterious, A Plot/A Scandal explores the seen and unseen, representation, and refusal.
