Iva Nova. Rock music from Russia

The four experimental ladies of Iva Nova from Saint Petersburg draw their inspiration from Slavic folklore, but the band’s extravagant music also has its own wild touch: spirited, playful and humorous, feminine and proud.

The band Iva Nova was founded in 2002 in Saint Petersburg, released their first album in 2004 and immediately launched a model live career at home and abroad. At the end of 2018, the four ladies released their new album “Uba Hoba”, the songs of which they will present on their current tour.

Pussy Riot. Riot Days. F*ck Putin

The unfiltered soundtrack of the Russian Putin criticism. As a member of Pussy Riot, Marija Alyokhina is considered an enemy of the state by the Kremlin. Disguised as a courier driver, she fled Russia at the beginning of the war to fight Putin in Europe with her punk band and to celebrate solidarity with Ukraine worldwide. A crossover of concert, rally and theater, spoken word and live music tells a story of resistance, repression and revolution. Art that meets political activism – captivating, inspiring and a vibrant testament to a different Russia.

Admission: 25€
“Pussy Riot donate the majority of their salary for a children’s hospital in Kyiv – we and our audience are joining them in this.” (Norbert Pfleifer, Treibhaus)
