The Flowers of Srebrenica

The Flowers of Srebrenica marks the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide in a bold new international production by SARTR and LegalAliens Theatre. Featuring actors from Bosnia, Rwanda, Ukraine and Ireland, this powerful show fuses physical theatre, projection and personal testimony to explore memory, loss, and solidarity. It asks not just how we remember atrocities — but how we carry their lessons forward.

All performances will be captioned.

Following the performance on Thu 16 Oct there will be a post show discussion. 

THEATRE AS SITE OF/FOR MEMORY

Jacksons Lane Theatre, London, 16 October 2025

Curator: Dr Szabolcs Musca

The discussions follow an open and collaborative format, bringing together a diversity of voices. The event is a ‘glocal encounter’ that draws on the local/ regional experiences and social cultural histories, while also thinking through global connectedness and resonances elsewhere – connecting a diversity of knowledge and experiences across different geographies. The panel debate focuses on separate, but interlinked topics and a set of related questions, inviting collective reflections on memory, witnessing and legacy.

Leading questions: Can absence be performed? To what extent can theatre act as site of/for memory? And how can theatre facilitate individual and collective healing?
