About

"Riot Days" is a performance combining live music, spoken word, theatre and documentary footage on the Große Bühne of the Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz – a performance, not a concert. It is based on Maria Alyokhina's books "Riot Days" (2017) and "Political Girl" (2025).

The focus is on resistance to dictatorship and on what it means to continue that resistance. The story is told from Alyokhina's perspective: her 2012 conviction over the "Punk Prayer" protest, her time in prison and her departure from Russia in 2022. Every performance names political prisoners and documents political repression and war crimes. The production is updated to reflect political developments in Russia and Ukraine.

It was developed by Alexander Cheparukhin and Maria Alyokhina, has toured since 2016 and has been staged in more than 40 countries. On stage are Maria (Masha) Alyokhina, Alina Petrova (Rov), Taso Pletner and Eric Breitenbach.
