No matter how thin we were

In the center named after Meyerhold, they removed from the show hip-hop Operetta "Tarakanische" based on the fairy tale of Korney Chukovsky. This was reported by the Rain TV channel with reference to the director of the performance Victoria Naras.

The first show of operetta took place on January 12. "The heroes of the performance are the classics of Russian literature that help the characters resist the aggressive power that pulls them into the darkness and ignorance," the performance of the performance says. In one of the numbers, the former Pussy Riot participant Nadezhda Tolokonnikova sings Leonid Utesov’s song “Secret”.

After the show, the premiere date should have been scheduled, but this did not happen. According to the director, the artistic director of the Meerhold Center Viktor Ryzhakov, "hinted that the performance" Political "." This was enough to make a decision to ban the performance. "No matter what happened." And I have to exclude the so -called “team” from Qima, ”said Narasa. She had to communicate through intermediaries with Ryzhakov himself.

“Therefore, I can only assume how the artistic director explains his decision. Probably, it seems to him that“ behind him ”was staged a“ political performance. ”And that it would create difficulties in obtaining further funding for Qima,” Narasa said. According to her, the play "Maximum allegorical, very figurative" was made for family viewing. And there are no hints, in particular, to President of Russia Vladimir Putin.

The art director of Zim Elena Kovalskaya said that the performance was shot due to drunkenness, smoking and rowing of its participants during rehearsals. The order of Ryzhakov states that with a bunker, cooperation was discontinued due to a repeated violation of the internal regulations of the TSIM and safety rules.

The prohibition of the production coincided with the premiere of the new Pussy Riot clip on February 3, dedicated to the Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika, with choreography Victoria Narahsa.

In December 2013, Tolokonnikova and another participant in the Pussy Riot campaign in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior Maria Alekhina were released under amnesty. They announced that they intend to protect the rights of prisoners and establish the Foundation "Zone of Law". Tolokonnikova and Alekhina noticed that they would not use the Pussy Riot brand in the work of the Law Zone. They also said that they did not plan to hold new shares. In connection with employment in the fund, they will not have time for this, former participants in the punk group explained.

Nevertheless, on June 12 last year, on Bolotnaya Square in Moscow, police officers detained the former Pussy Riot member Nadezhda Tolokonnikov and activist Katrin Nenasheva staged a performance on the Day of Russia - they sewed the Russian flag in the forms of prisoners. The police detained them and delivered them to the Yakimanka department. After the "preventive conversation" the activists were released. They had to wait long for a copy of the detention protocol.
