All girl punk band, Pussy Riot, make a theatrical performance as part of the Saatchi gallery Post Soviet Protest Art exhibition this winter. Along with Pyotr Pavlensky and Oleg Kulik, the notorious anti-establishment quintet take to the stage to tell their story of oppression and cultural revolution in their homeland of Russia.



Inside Pussy Riot, the name of the show, places the viewer into their world, from a post-punk pop art perspective, complete with funky balaclavas. The gritty content of the delivery is intended to prod and poke at our moral conscience, depicting humiliation and belittlement as part of the custodial sentence placed on one of their members.



Theatre goers are made to wear the balaclavas too, as well as prison style clothing. While there, they are treated to a glamorised version of events similar to that which occurred to Nadya Tolokonnikova by the activist herself. A mock court hearing and prison sentence take place in the art gallery and a version of hard labour is given to each participant.



By mixing the outlandish and ridiculous with the tough and harrowing, Inside Pussy Riot reveals what it could be like being an active member of an outspoken group in a country such as Russia. To say that the event is taking place in London amidst the high class and luxury shopping venues, banks, and offices, a little piece of Soviet discipline can be yours too. The show runs until the 31st of December.
