Dancer

Director:
Steven Cantor

Sergei Polunin took the dance world by storm and became the Royal Ballet's youngest ever principal. At the peak of his success, aged 25, he walked away, driven to the brink of self-destruction by stardom - his talent more a burden than a gift. Here is an unprecedented look into the life of a complex young man who has made ballet go viral. But virtuosity comes with a high price. How can you be free to be yourself when you are ballet's hottest property?
