The performance is based on last words of women accused of political crimes in Russian courts. Their outspoken message in a court room becomes the only matter of free speech one can imagine in contemporary Russia.
The performance gathered «last words» of defendants such as Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Alla Gutnikova, Sasha Skochilenko, Zarifa Sautieva and others to shine light on their courage and to paint a picture of Russia’s current regime.
