Teatro do Bairro Alto
A Plot/A Scandal (CANCELLED)

A Plot / A Scandal conjures and taunts specters of history and embodied memory, including Enlightenment thinker and slave trade beneficiary John Locke, Maria Olofa (Wolofa) in the slave revolt of Santo Domingo in 1521, Cuban artist and revolutionary José Aponte, and Lewis’s great grandmother, a figure Lewis turns to within her plot as a guide of resistance. A dance between affect and embodiment, seeing and being seen, A Plot / A Scandal is a scene in the making where the excitement for that which does not fit might find its place.

The performance "A Plot / A Scandal" by Ligia Lewis, scheduled for April 20th and 21st, has been cancelled due to health issues of the artistic team. At the moment, it is not possible to predict a date for its rescheduling. (TBA)
