In collaboration with Les Enfants Terribles (Alice’s Adventures Underground), Pussy Riot, everyone’s favorite feminist post-punk band from Russia, will be creating an immersive experience that details Nadya Tolokonnikova’s arrest, conviction, and subsequent two years of jail time. The audience will have the opportunity to experience Russian courtrooms, a labor colonies, solitary confinement cells, prisoner abuse, and more.
Of the show, Tolokonnikova states:
“Inside Pussy Riot shows you what prison, prosecution of political activists and police oppression looks like. It also reminds you what democracy, on the contrary, looks like. And when I say ‘democracy’, I mean real democracy, which is about direct participation of citizens. Inside Pussy Riot plunges you into the totality of an authoritarian system — if you do not choose real democracy and participation, authoritarianism chooses you.”
