Music, theatre, video and political protest come together in Pussy Riot’s internationally acclaimed Riot Days. Based on Maria “Masha” Alyokhina’s experiences, the performance traces Pussy Riot’s protest actions, the trial following the group’s 2012 “punk prayer” and Alyokhina’s time in a Russian prison.
The latest version brings the story into the present, addressing further arrests and protests, the repression of LGBTQI people, the fate of Alexei Navalny and Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Live music, spoken word, video and performance combine in an intense exploration of resistance, repression and the political power of art.
