We Are Pussy Riot (or Everything is P.R.)
Mathers Theatre, Holland Union Building
Tickets: $7, or $5 for students with ID
In 2012, the Russian feminist art collective Pussy Riot performed a 48-second punk prayer, “Virgin Mary, Chase Putin Away,” on the steps of Moscow’s Church of Christ the Savior in protest of the Russian presidential election. That earned the musicians two years in jail and international renown as activist royalty. “We Are Pussy Riot” takes on this modern-day legend—performed by the Yurodivy (“holy fools”) and informed by trial transcripts, interviews, letters, and all other matter of media—and weaponizes the absurd to question the insanity of everyday life.
