Alex Minshull
Odd Fellow Alex Minshull is bringing Pussy Riot’s Maria (Masha) Alyokhina to the historic Odd Fellows Hall for one night only.
Maria (Masha) Alyokhina is a member of Pussy Riot and one of the most recognized dissident artists of her generation. Her new book Political Girl continues the story begun in Riot Days, documenting years of activism, imprisonment and protest. Through sharp and intimate fragments, she recounts years marked by arrests, prison sentences, police violence, protests at the Sochi Olympics, advocacy for Alexei Navalny, and her dramatic escape from Russia disguised as a food courier.
During the performance, Alyokhina will read selections from the book while Eric Breitenbach creates a live improvised musical score that reacts to the text in real time, transforming the reading into an immersive audiovisual experience.
Political Girl continues the story begun in Riot Days, tracing Alyokhina’s life inside the tightening machinery of Putin’s Russia from 2014 to 2022.
Tickets are a suggested 30$.
