Pussy Riot 'Riot Days' Christchurch Show Announced

Russian feminist punk rockers Pussy Riot are bringing their acclaimed multimedia Riot Days performance event to Christchurch in mid-March, following a headline-grabbing event at Auckland Town Hall and the announcement of a "surprise mini FemFest" happening at Auckland's Pah Homestead this weekend. Merging music, dance, theatre, protest and projected visuals, Riot Days is an accompanying piece to Pussy Riot member Maria Alyokhina's memoir of the same name – telling the story of the politically charged collective, who gained "global notoriety in 2012 when three members, Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Yekaterina Samutsevich were imprisoned for “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred” for their performance inside Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Saviour". The group recently announced they'll also be bringing Riot Days to Wellington this month on the 12th, grip the info for both events here...
