VILLAGE AX
Standing tall is a high-security village. Inside are several living, buzzing and breathing inhabitants struggling for their lives. Inside them is a small, vulnerable creature.
Village Ax is a story within a heart, within a person, within a village that goes down in history, and proves the interconnectedness of humanity. Dedicated to those who lock themselves in.
Village Ax has been picked up for the Port Theatre’s lobby series in 2017 and has played Theatre Project Manitoba’s Season in 2015/16.
“Village Ax creates a safe place where those inside voices and hurts can breathe, vent, dance and be free.” ★★★★ -CBC
“Village Ax is equally absorbing, perplexing, and angsty, interspersed with bursts of gorgeous dance. This is a truly intimate and passionate performance.” -PLANK Magazine
ANGELS & ALIENS

“The structure of this play is perfect, the integration of actors into story is a thing to marvel.” -Apt613
