"In the newly commissioned film A Plot A Scandal, on view at CARA as part of study now steady, Lewis conjures the im/possibilities of repair inside the ongoing histories of continued dispossession. Restaged within a medieval town in Rimini called Santarcangelo, the film, which departs from the stage work of the same name, utilizes this historical backdrop to share contents of The Code Noir, Enlightenment theory, and a plot of a slave rebellion in Cuba, as well as the story of Lewis's great grandmother, bringing to the fore a pointed critique of the entanglement between “natural rights” and property. In a comedic and poetic fashion, the film challenges the very logic of land as property."
