VIGIL is a polyvocal performance work made by visionary communities and creatives with something to ask of Australia: What lives matter? Do our lives matter? A crowded tram progresses along its journey. There is a passenger fleeing war and bombs. Another flees her partner. One believes she has found refuge from an oppressive regime. Another wants to walk a park at night and feel the grass under her feet. One observes the settlers on this tram, in all their diversity and indifference to Blak lives.
