[Ronald Meyer]

PUSSY RIOT‹THE SEQUEL
Wednesday, March 13, 2013. 7:00 pm.
Teatro, Italian Academy, Columbia University, 1161 Amsterdam Avenue, NYC
A witness theater performance by Varvara Faer (Teatr.doc, Moscow) about
Pussy Riot, the women¹s punk group now famous for singing the prayer ³Mother
of God, drive Putin away!² in a Russian church, and their subsequent
prosecution.  Two members of the group, Maria Alekhina and Nadezhda
Tolokonnikova, are currently serving sentences in a prison camp, while
another member, Ekaterina Samutsevich, was sentenced to probation.
The performance is based on the eyewitness account of Elena Masyuk, a
journalist and human rights activist closely involved with Pussy Riot, who
has had the opportunity to visit the convicted members, Maria and Nadezhda.
The actress Milena Tskhovreba, whose response to Pussy Riot has been far
from unequivocal, will also join the performance.   Ekaterina Samutsevich
will participate via Skype.
Running time: 1 hour, 20 minutes.
A discussion will follow the performance.
Co-sponsored by Columbia University's Italian Academy for Advanced Studies
in America.
Performance will be in Russian. No simultaneous interpretation will be
provided. A video, with English subtitles, will be posted to the Harriman
website.

waiting list at 6:45 pm.
