Who is Sergei Polunin?

His worldwide fame came through his collaboration with Hozier’s music video. “Take me to Church” was directed by David LaChapelle and seen as one of his masterpieces. A year later his life story became the subject of the feature film ‘Dancer’.  His youth, ballet training and international fame are followed and analyzed, giving you an intimate look into his life.
