Deja Vu Kabaret archiveDeep in the depths below the Nomad Park, a lonely performer prepares her act. Beneath the earth and amidst the soil, a late night cabaret show becomes both a haven and a battlefield as its cast of performers face off against a fascist government who will stop at nothing to silence their voices. Deja Vu Kabaret is based on a real story from Istanbul that began with environmental protests in 2013 that rapidly turned into a revolution in Turkish history - the Gezi Park Protests. Centred around a mounting pressure from the police and the governmental based news platforms spreading propaganda and censoring the protests, activists established a cabaret beneath the park where artists would perform to challenge the laws and policies being enacted. This led to immediate plans from the authorities to tear down the cabaret, and the tragic consequences for the performers and audience one June evening in 2013. It's a play that challenges where and when you can forget about your problems, the privilege associated with that choice and a call to audiences to feel freely, speak freely, and live freely.
