  1. Also Sergei Polunin (permanent guest with the Bayerisches Staatsballet) recently announced the birth of his first child! What a blessing all these happy news in these sad and uncertain days ❤
  2. Thank you Naomi for your kind words! And wow, this is really cool! All the fans I spoke to, were very impressed by the care of details of the materials produced for Dancer in Japan! 👏🏻👏🏻I have found very nice also the posters created by the students of the Tokyo University of Fine Arts! I read about "Satori" in reference to haiku, which I especially love. If I remember well, it was an essay about the "haiku moment": the description was very beautiful, something like the moment when man becomes one with the environment and so becomes part of the eternity of the universe. And as the haiku moment is the heart of the haiku, satori is the heart of the Zen and gives to men a new viewpoint of seeing the ordinary things.I can understand well why Polunin is so fascinating from this!
  3. Well, sorry but if someone speak badly to me, I answer. I don't like malignancy and I don't like passive-aggressive nonsense. I really hope not to waste any more time with this.
  4. Steady on, Fonty! It is clear that you are not an enormous fan. Just because people say something that is less than total critic for Polunin, doesn't mean they are just adoring him. And as I said in my previous post, the word "sacrifice" is a subjective one. See you? It's totally interchangeable.
  5. The funny thing is that I think there isn't an actual fan club. If it existed, obviously I would enroll myself immediately, since I apparently direct it, but there is not. Are there still many fanclubs in the world or is it now considered something "vintage"? Or maybe it's just something more connected to the world of music ... Anyway, talking about nice things, it seems that Polunin was particularly impressed by Japan, I think he has been there on several occasions and considering the name of his new project, Japanese culture has been a great inspiration for him. If I understand correctly, "Satori" is a term related to the spiritual rebirth and, personally, I find it beautiful, both as meaning and as sound
  6. Well, actually I said that after a life of sacrifices, the red carpet is the place that dancers should always have, so I mean dancers in general, which deserve much more attention that a football players for example. But if you ask me about it, yes, I definitely think Polunin's life has been full of sacrifices, considering that he had to renounce to his childhood, his adolescence, and his family, growing alone, in a foreign country with the constant anguish of being the only hope to give a better life to his family before, and with guilty feelings later, because he thought his career had caused his parents divorce. Maybe you think that the most important thing for a top dancer is to be doing his class every day, but other like me prefer to see an artist and not an employee. And if the fact of posting some photos and expressing my appreciation for my favorite dancer in the topic dedicated to him, makes me the head of his fan club ... Well, cool it was really easy! And at this point I wonder how to define people who comment only to criticize him and ridicule whatever he does ... And then I wonder who you are and what have you done so extraordinary in your life to judge the sacrifices of others, or to judge the choices of others, or to judge my personal tastes and motivations that push me and all the other hundreds of Polunin fans to be his great admirers. But than, thinking better about it, I realized I'm not interesting at all to know who you are, I'm interested in talking about Polunin and his art in the topic dedicated to him, and if you're not interested, nobody obliges you to honor us of your regal presence, though I have to admit a certain fun reading your scornful comments.
  7. Lin I'm really sorry if I created problems loading the page, actually I basically posted only links because I thought they were lighter than photos, but maybe I do something wrong... Anyway, I'm very curious about Soloviev's role. A friend sent me a translation of a Russian interview that unfortunately I cannot find anymore where Polunin explained that he was very interested in the figure of Soloviev and in his tragic story and that he considers it his best role.
  8. One photo (I hope it's not too much) of the Murder on the Orient Express' premiere in London. It's wonderful to see a dancer on the red carpet: after a life of sacrifices and renunciations, is exactly where dancers should always be!
  9. This is a communication of the Bayerische Staatsballet a few days ago: "SERGEI POLUNIN AT THE BAYERISCHES STAATSBALLETT 10/26/2017 Dear fans of the Bayerisches Staatsballett and of Sergei Polunin, the talks about the next performances of Sergei Polunin in Munich are still in process. Once dates have been confirmed, we will announce them immediately on all channels, including our homepage, the schedule, our social media channels and our newsletter." Apparently, the amount of requests for Polunin's presence are making them crazy. It's so nice to see so much enthusiasm for the ballet!
  10. Nice interview of Sergei Polunin by Graham Norton on BBC radio this morning (At minute 2:35:53) http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09cl5fv#play
  11. I suppose you refer to my post. I'm sorry that you find difficult to consult it, but considering that this topic it's about Sergei Polunin, I think it's normal to post photos and videos about him, regardless of being or not his fans. Also "one page" is the forum structure, if I did several posts, I suppose the problem would remain ...But if you have some suggestions in this regard, please let me know, so I can correct my post!
  12. The same here! 😭 I'm envious of the repertory and of the performers too! 😁
  13. Project Polunin presented the full program of December performances at the London Coliseum. Satori, this is the fascinating title of the work, will include: "First Solo" by Andrey Kaydanovskiy, "Scriabiniana" by Kasyan Goleizovsky and "Satori", choreographed by Polunin himself. The complete cast is still to be announced. https://londoncoliseum.org/whats-on/project-polunin/ https://www.dancing-times.co.uk/project-polunin/ Polunin was also named by the Evening Standard among the londons most influential people of 2017 in the category "performers: theatre and dance": "You can’t deny the star power of Ukrainian dancer Sergei Polunin, 27, bringing ballet to places other performers just can’t reach. More than 20 million YouTube views for his Take Me to Church video directed by David LaChapelle, a brilliantly candid documentary, Dancer, roles in Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express film and a new Jennifer Lawrence movie it all adds up to the kind of global recognition that’s rare among dancers." https://www.standard.co.uk/news/the1000/the-progress-1000-londons-most-influential-people-2017-performers-theatre-dance-a3655696.html
