Pussy Riot

The performative concert RIOT DAYS is based on Maria Alyokhina’s critically acclaimed book of the same name. The show chronicles Alyokhina’s experiences with the group Pussy Riot, from their iconic protests to their court trials and prison sentences – a story of resistance, repression and revolution in a mixture of concert, rally, theatre and political happening. The content evolves, reflecting current events like political prosecutions and the Russian aggression against Ukraine. With over 400 performances globally, RIOT DAYS has garnered prestigious awards like the Herald Angel Award, Total Theatre Award of Edinburgh Festivals, the Woody Guthrie Prize in the USA, and more. Just recently four artists of RIOT DAYS received honorary degrees of the Doctor of Letters of the University of Kent, and celebrated this with an impromptu performance in the historical Canterbury Cathedral.
