Pussy Riot joins Uni's creative revolution

Wednesday, 20 February 2019

Russian feminist punk rock group Pussy Riot will headline an in-conversation series of free talks at the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide, offering audiences an exclusive insight into some of the RCC Fringe 2019's leading performers.

Run by the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s Sia Furler Institute of Contemporary Music and Media, the next three events will feature conversations on stage with RCC Fringe performers:

Penny Arcade (Thursday 21 February).
The Reverend Billy (Thursday 28 February). 
Pussy Riot (Tuesday 5 March). 

Each of these events is free – bookings essential (see details below).

Pussy Riot is one of the headline acts for – a huge fully-curated program of mind-expanding international arts including theatre, music, circus and comedy being held on the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide's North Terrace campus – with performances from the group on 27 February to 3 March, and again on 7 March.

Featuring the three key members of the iconic group performing together for the first time ever, Pussy Riot’s historic and unmissable performances will be given a unique perspective with this candid on-stage conversation.

"We're excited to be able to give the people of Adelaide an exclusive opportunity to hear what has driven these creative innovators," says Tom Hajdu, Director of the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s Sia Furler Institute of Contemporary Music and Media.

"Our event series, Creative Revolutionaries, is an exciting forum for South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ns to connect with local and global visionaries.

"As well as hearing the performers talk about their work with interviewers, audience members will also be able to ask their own questions of each act.

"We're grateful for this unique collaboration with RCC Fringe, which has helped to bring these performers to Adelaide. We look forward to expanding Creative Revolutionaries beyond RCC Fringe, with the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ to host regular on-stage conversations with creative and innovative leaders."
