Alexander Sergeyev as the Torero

Alexander Sergeyev looks equally impeccable in the garb of a leading prince or the ascetic costume of a neoclassical ballet, and, whatever he performs, his ability to reinvent himself and speak different dance languages allows him to find the key to practically any role in the male solo repertoire.

In his dancing there is nothing to suggest he is drawing the audience’s attention to himself, and on-stage we always see the role he is enacting, a character experiencing diverse dramatic peripeteia, and not just a performer showing off his technique. Sergeyev has the talent to find his own approach, to perform both choreographic “knick-knacks” and serious roles that occasionally have tragic subtexts. In the ballet Carmen-Suite – which is filled with emotions, the most important of which is love – he will undergo yet another transformation as the exquisite and dazzling rival-in-love, the Torero.
