The second in a trilogy of choreographed works, minor matter draws upon visual and conceptual metaphors relating to blackness. Continuing Lewis’s ongoing engagement with affect and embodiment while interrogating the social inscriptions of the body, minor matter poses questions about the black body within the frame of the black box. Built on the logic of interdependence, the theater’s parts—light, sound, and image—become entangled with the three dancers, giving life to a vibrant social and poetic space. In this work, Lewis turns to the color red to materialize thoughts between love and rage.

“Whether erupting into synchronized stepping routines, flinging their bodies into precarious entanglements, or trying to scale the walls of the black box theater, the three (dancers) rode a fine line between fighting for, and against, one another… a beautiful, blistering trio” – The New York Times
