Artboretum & Adam Ligas present: Pussy Riot (RU)

Ke Sklárně 3213/15, Praha MeetFactory

8. 9. 20:00

The Pussy Riot art movement is coming back to Prague after three years with their punk, electronic, but above all revolutionary opera that reflects the current events. The performance is an innovative combination of live music, theater and video.

The group has travelled around the world since its formation, becoming famous for a happening in Moscow's Christ the Saviour Cathedral, for which its three members were imprisoned for the first time. However, their fight for freedom does not end at this point, and is becoming more and more topical. Founding member Maria Alyokhina has spent the last year in prison for supporting a political opponent of Vladimir Putin. She managed to escape from the house arrest by disguising herself as a food delivery worker. Earlier in June, another member - Aisoltan Niyazova, was also arrested in Croatia, after she had been accused by her native state of Turkmenistan of embezzling $40 million from its central bank. Fortunately, both of them will be appearing in Prague. The movement fights in particular for feminism, the rights of LGBT people and freedom of speech.

At Pussy Riot's request, the proceeds from the show will be donated to the reconstruction of a children's hospital in Kiev.
