THEATRE

Deja vu

written by Alara Koroglu, directed by Sofia Zaragoza

Déjà Vu is a true story based on events that took place at the 2013 environmental protests in Istanbul on June 15th, 2013. Déjà Vu tells the story of a group of passionate artists who come together to protect their beloved park amidst rising violence and political pressure. As tensions grow and the situation becomes more dangerous, they struggle with their beliefs and face the heavy emotional burden of their fight, including the pain of loss. 

Through heartfelt musical performances, they aim to lift each other's spirits and inspire unity, while questioning their purpose and the sacrifices required for their cause. In the face of tragedy, the play explores the deep connection between art and activism, showing how creativity can serve as a powerful form of resistance. 

Déjà Vu is a touching reflection on resilience and the human spirit, reminding us of the importance of standing up for what we believe in, even when the world tries to silence us.

OUR HISTORY

The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.

The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
