WHO WE ARE

Vault Projects is a company of artists whom collaborate across a variety of artistic mediums to create new experimental theatre works. 

Vault Projects is run by me, Frances Koncan!  Anishinaabe writer, director, Taurean vegetarian originally from Couchiching First Nation and now based in Winnipeg. She is currently the Artist-in-Residence at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre in Northern Manitoba, where she has convinced the staff to learn parkour while she plays doom jazz, and they are (probably) loving it.

We are in the process of crafting up a brand new play for the 2017 Winnipeg Fringe Festival, and we are humbly asking for your generous help! 

RIOT RESIST REVOLT REPEAT


A long time ago in the future.

Iskwe is a young Cree woman living in Winnipeg, a city surrounded by walls that keep the good things in and the bad things out (or maybe it's the other way around). When her sister goes missing, Iskwe embarks on a journey outside the wall to seek justice, get revenge, and uncover the truth... while her Psychiatrist in the hospital where she is being treated for mental illness assures her there is no wall at all. 

Which world is real, and which is the imagination of a brain on fire? And if both feel equally real, whose place is it to determine which is the ultimate reality? 

Inspired by pipelines, by Standing Rock, by resistence, by Nick Cave, by our ancestral revolutionaries throughout history, by the culturally insensitive colonial determinants and treatments of mental illness of Indigenous peoples that perpetuate cycles of trauma, by the trendiness of neon, and by the lonesome lovely landscapes of the Great White North.
