House of Choices, a multimedia play, will premiere 18th of March in Helsinki, at Studio Kinos in Hernesaari.

 

An experimental therapy method claims to rehabilitate prisoners back into society within weeks. Will the inmates choose freedom, or is change the biggest fear of them all? House of Choices is a play flavoured with dark humour and questions about our human existence: Are you using the freedom you have? And how free are you, really?

 

House of Choices is written by Mira Olsson (whose short film "The Errand" was chosen to the American Pavilion Emerging Filmmakers Showcase during the Cannes Film Festival 2022). The play was created to fit the Training requirements of 12 actors portrayed equally in the performance. The play is a combination of live stage scenes and filmed scenes projected onto screen.

The play is a showcase of the first Actors Academy Advanced Training Alumni. The Training started in October 2022, and it runs until March 2023, consisting of nine intensive weekend modules with lead coach Ashlie Walker and supporting coaches Ben Joiner and Barbara Houseman. The Meisner Technique based Advanced Training is open for actors with previous acting experience and is the next course level after comp
leting the Actors Academy One Year Training.
