Sergei Polunin Tickets

Following a series of disparaging comments made by Ukrainian-born, Russian dancer Sergei Polunin that were deemed overwhelmingly sexist, homophobic, and fat-shaming, London Theatre Direct have made the decision to pull the plug on ticket sales for the ballerino's upcoming mixed programme at the London Palladium.

London Theatre Direct formally announce today that they will be halting ticket sales for Sergei Polunin's upcoming mixed dance programme at the London Palladium. The decision comes after the Ukrainian ballerino's series of hateful comments made last year came to our attention. Polunin's homophobic and sexist remarks, as well as his violent fat shaming against the clinically overweight, go against LTD's core values of diversity, acceptance, and equality.

The full cast has been confirmed for the new mixed dance programme by Sergei Polunin, which runs as two separate programmes from 28 May to 1 June 2019 at the London Palladium. Programme 1 runs from 28 to 30 May and is a triple bill that includes Fraudulent Smile, Paradox, and Sacré. Programme 2 will feature the world premiere of Rasputin and will run from 31 May to 1 June.

Sergei Polunin’s upcoming Project Polunin has released full casting information. The world famous Polunin will be joined by dancers from across Europe. Consisting of Goleizovsky’s Scriabiniana, Andrey Kaydanovskiy’s new ballet First Solo, and the world premiere of Polunin’s Satori, Project Polunin works to celebrate and highlight the history of classical dance while embodying our current times in the creation of their new works. In collaboration with artists, writers, musicians, and filmmakers as well as dancers the project seeks to “convey the joy of dance”.
