As part of As Seen On Fringe 2026.
Roots in Every Room
Anna D
15 – 18 July 2026
“The roots, untangled, become the tree.”
Roots in Every Room is a powerful live performance blending spoken word poetry, film, and sound to tell a deeply personal story of healing and ancestral reckoning. Inspired by dreams passed down through generations, it is a viciously vulnerable exploration of the struggles of womanhood, trauma and emotional survival.
A visceral, multi-sensory experience, the show invites you to witness one woman’s journey to break cycles, reclaim feminine power, and transform inherited pain into radical hope and strength.
