In November 2018, Marinella Senatore invited three members of the Pussy Riot collective, known for its public actions, to Cape Town. During an evening at an underground club, the artist immortalizes the activists as they dance on stage wearing the typical colored balaclava. A purple-red velvet curtain, the same one that characterizes the curtain of the Scala in Milan, partially conceals the scene, inviting us to look beyond.
