Artist sews his mouth for ##### Riot

In a protest in support of the jailed punk group ##### Riot, a St Petersburg artist has sewn his mouth shut, and paraded through the city’s Kazansky Cathedral.

St Petersburg’s My Neighbourhood newspaper reports Pyotr Pavlensky, looking pale and thin and wearing a black sweater, walked into the Kazansky Cathedral carrying a placard in support of ##### Riot, with his mouth closed by red string.

The man’s poster read: “##### Riot performance was a remake of a famed Jesus Christ’s deed (mf. 21:12-13).”

The poster referred to an episode in the Jesus Christ Superstar 1973 film adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice rock opera.

“With this action Pyotr Pavlensky calls on the believers to find powers to understand that Christian culture is inseparable from Christ’s deeds, and on artists to overcome their fears and at least once state their opinion frankly and openly,” the artist’s assistant told the newspaper.

Last week a cross with a crucified doll depicting the ##### Riot group was placed in front of St. Petersburg’s Church of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. An inscription on the cross read “Your democracy can be here.” Activists also placed a charity box under the cross with the words “for restoration of Russian Orthodox Church’s reputation” written on it.

Five masked girls from the ##### Riot band allegedly performed an anti-Putin song at Moscow’s Christ the Savior Cathedral on February 21. The following month, three band members were arrested.

Maria Alehina, Ekaterina Samutsevich and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova have spent the last four months in jail. The Khamovnichesky Court in Moscow has ruled that the three will remain in detention for another six months.

This has some disturbing First Amendment implications.

First Amendment?

I'm not familiar with Russia's First Amendment. Does it have to do with #####, or sewing your mouth shut?Edit: Found it. It's apparently an extension of the term for the President of Russia. Not sure this is related.

The poster translation and interpretation is a little clumsy. It's not "(mf. 21:12-13)" but "(Matt. 21:12-13)" -- as in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 21, verses 12-13:
12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.

13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer', but you are making it a den of robbers.”

While it's true that this scene is shown in Jesus Christ Superstar, a reference to the original scene in the New Testament would make the poster's meaning and Pavlensky's angle a lot clearer.
