Performance Space 122 presents the world premiere of LEWIS FOREVER: Freak the Room. LEWIS FOREVER is the incredibly talented, hyper-charismatic multinational performing family - think the Von Trapps - but infinitely hipper. Depending on how you slice it, LEWIS FOREVER is comprised of three sisters and a brother; a director, two dancers and a musician; a family living half in New York and half in Berlin; half Dominican and half Jewish American; a performance collective and a bloodline. What happens when these sexy siblings get together and create performance events is highly combustible. This time out, they fuse dance, theatre, music and video to investigate and subvert the fiction of cultural and familial identification. In other words, they freak it - and just about anything that is or isn't nailed down. In LEWIS FOREVER: Freak the Room, there is play and there is fantasy. There is sex and violence. There's even an impostor who tests their relationships to each other and to their actions. LEWIS FOREVER's home lies between continents, identities and meanings - Performance Space 122 is their living room, and they will freak it. Individually they are George, Isabel, Sarah, and Ligia but together they are a performance collective fusing theatre, dance, experimental music, visual and performance arts. They embody ideas, and questions that surround collective versus individual vision, emigration, post-American identity, 'transnationalism', belonging, and dislocation. LEWIS FOREVER has been presented by AUNTS in Brooklyn and by Epic, FUEL, and LaborGras in Berlin.
