< i m o g e n > or, The Post-Modern Prometheus
by The Glass Collective
In 2021, Lewis established The Glass Collective with four other artists. They came together to produce < i m o g e n >, an absurd comedy exploring what it means to be human, to belong. Five researchers play god and as they do their own personal losses become evermore present. Drawing from Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein or, The Modern Prometheus', this show used Artificial Intelligence to create a human identity.
Suitcase Under the Stairs
a 'wipe your feet theatre' production,
Lewis is Co-Director and Co-Founder of 'wipe your feet theatre', a theatre collective aimed at sharing personal stories in intimate spaces. They also work across community groups and work with different demographics to help then explore their own stories. The company's first project is Suitcase Under the Stairs, which is a piece written by Lewis, devised by the company that explores the use of drag as a tool for self-acceptance. Commissioned by Greenwich Theatre 2020.

Realness Revolution!
Commissioned as part of Boundless Theatre's 2020 'Boundless Happenings' project, which commissions emerging artists from across London to create a 20 minute digital theatre piece. 'Realness Revolution!' is set in a camp dystopian world where ROSE XO is the authoritarian ruler. Lewis (performing as themself) must protest and fight to infiltrate ROSE XO's Campy Cabinet. The audience are given polls throughout the story, which decides Lewis' actions. This piece explores political power and collective activism framed in a satirical world drawing on the clown-like performances of populist politicians.
