DESCRIPTION:Sat, Nov 5, 2016, 8:00 pm, Doors: 7:30 pm\n\nPussy Riot is a Russian 
 feminist punk rock protest group based in Moscow. Founded in August 2011, 
 it has a variable membership of approximately 11 women ranging in age from 
 about 20 to 33 (as of 2012). The group stages unauthorised provocative 
 guerrilla performances in unusual public locations, which are edited into 
 music videos and posted on the Internet. The collective's lyrical themes 
 include feminism, LGBT rights, and opposition to Russian President Vladimir 
 Putin, whom the group considers a dictator, and to his links with the 
 leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church.\n\nIn 2012, five members of the 
 group staged a performance in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior, 
 protesting the Orthodox Church leader's support for Putin during his 
 election campaign. On March 3, two of the group members, Nadezdha 
 Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina were arrested and charged with 
 hooliganism. A third member, Yekaterina Samutsevich, was arrested two weeks 
 later. On August 17, the three members were convicted of "hooliganism 
 motivated by religious hatred," and each was sentenced to two years 
 imprisonment.\n\nThe trial and sentence attracted considerable criticism, 
 particularly in the West. The case was adopted by human rights groups 
 including Amnesty International, and by a number of prominent entertainers. 
 Having served 21 months, Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina were released on 
 December 23, 2013. Alyokhina now travels the world speaking against the 
 issues mentioned above in Russia. On this tour, she is joined by Pussy 
 Riot's Media Zona editor, Alexandra (Sasha) Bogino.\n\nRussian feminist 
 punk rock protest group comes to Berkeley!\n\n$20.00 - $32.50.\n
