Ligia Lewis

Ligia Lewis works as an artist, choreographer, and director. She presents her work on stage, in a gallery or museum, through film or exhibition format. Lewis's works are often marked by physical and emotional intensities by which comedy and tragedy collide. Through her work, the performer and audience confront a confluence of processes that disrupt normative conceptions of the body. At the same time, she negotiates the ghostly traces of history, memory, and the un/known. Lewis recently finished works including: A Plot / A Scandal (2022), Still Not Still (2021), deader than dead (2020). In Fall 23’, Lewis opened her first solo exhibition, study now steady at Center for Arts, Research and Alliances (CARA) in NYC (US), which includes the newly commissioned film A Plot, A Scandal (2023) departing from the stage work of the same name.

Still Not Still

Dance

In Still Not Still, choreographer Ligia Lewis pursues her exploration into the silences and shadows of history. In this piece, the performers play out a score over and over again, the burlesque dimension of which makes it all the more tragic.
