Mark your calendars, Winnipeg.
Peg City Car Co-op has a very fun project in the works for Nuit Blanche<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, September 30, 2017  – “Keep Me Awake”, a storytelling shuttle experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On buses, commuters overshare to lighten their load. <\/em>
In taxis, strangers let details of their day out of their mouths like fireflies: in bright, short bursts. <\/em>
On airplanes, passengers confide their fears, shining light into the darkness. <\/em>
In cars, we fight the urge to sleep, and beg: “Please. Keep me awake.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the ‘Illuminate the Night’ open call, with generous support from the Winnipeg Arts Council, we’re opening our car doors to patrons, presenting four micro-plays woven together by local playwright, Frances Koncan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Frances Koncan is an emerging Anishinaabe writer and director from Couchiching First Nation. She holds an MFA in Playwriting from the City University of New York Brooklyn College and a PhD in love from the School of Tinder. Next up, she’ll be directing “Savage in Limbo” for the Master Playwrights Festival, and working on a new play, “Women of the Fur Trade”, a 100% historically accurate dark comedy satirical musical about smallpox, colonial displacement, and the Hudson’s Bay Company. She is a Taurean vegetarian and currently lives in Winnipeg with her dog, Tucker. She may or may not be a ghost.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
