Now (núna) is presenting the production of “Sargent and Victor” by Deb Patterson, the 2010 Cultural Capitol of Canada Theatre ambassador in Gimli next weekend! This new solo play is created from a series of first person accounts gathered through interviews Patterson conducted with past and present residents of the iconic Winnipeg intersection for which it is named, the early urban settlement of immigrant Icelanders.

Hekla is in Winnipeg to participate in the Plug In Institute for Contemporary Art’s Summer Institute - an international post-graduate artist residency for professional artists working in all disciplines. Up to 10 artists, architects, designers, curators, scientists, musicians, dancers, and writers will share a collegial, open-studio environment. This critical discursive production opportunity will take place in Plug In ICA’s new purpose-built facilities, with an adjoining workshop, art research library, gallery, bookshop and café.
