Pussy Riot Debuts New Show Condemning Putin and Authoritarianism in Munich

The Russian activist group blends art and protest in a powerful performance critiquing war, oppression, and threats to freedom.

Pussy Riot premiered their updated 'Riot Days' show at Munich's Haus der Kunst, delivering a stark critique of Russian President Vladimir Putin and authoritarianism.
The performance highlighted issues such as the war in Ukraine, suppression of dissent, political murders, and the death of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny in custody a year ago.
The group urged the German audience to value and defend their freedom, emphasizing that liberty requires constant vigilance and action.
The show combined punk music, video footage of their protests, and powerful visuals of state violence to underscore the urgency of their message.
The performance coincides with the ongoing 'Velvet Terrorism' exhibition at the same venue, which explores Pussy Riot's activism and the repression they face in Russia.
