The Marsh: Anneli Kanninen – HOMEing (2025) shared bill with Algiin – Silent Assassin (2025)

HOMEing
HOMEing is a personal exploration of what it means to grow roots in a new place. Arriving in a new country, culture and a language, how does one start building home, while remembering what has been left behind? Through the lenses of different languages and contemporary dance, this work-in-progress performance researches the sensory and cultural experiences of home, connection, and how generations respond to uprooting.
“With this performance, I want to honor all the mothers who didn’t have the chance to get a sufficient education and worked their entire lives to put their children through school so that they could get more opportunities in life.”

Silent Assassin
Silent Assassin is a theatrical piece that combines poetry, spoken word, and storytelling to illustrate the nuances of our social dilemma of addiction. Powerfully pervasive while sometimes seeming innocent, the corrosive impact legally available substances and activities wield through ease of access and a culture of complicity, is both costly and devastating. Silent Assassin shows a path to illuminate the cost and impact ofour personal and collective decision making, development of consciousness, and quality of life.
