The film VIGIL is the first work of a larger project that brings together an exceptional creative team of writers, performers, dance artists, film makers and community to examine the intersection of public and private safety with race, gender and terror.

“This film is about the layers of trauma of an abusive relationship or event. An intimate reflection on the ripple effects of gender-based violence. The work is an embodied devotion about the power of the collective, a congregation, a vigil.” – The Samaya Wives

VIGIL is an experiential and communal work being created by Outer Urban Projects, Naarm/Melbourne, Australia.
