A debut by Alexander Sergeyev

Alexander Sergeyev is one of those dazzling performers for whom no detail is too small. Every role in the dancer’s repertoire is executed to perfection in terms of technique, acting skills and style. This has resulted in Sergeyev being acclaimed as a universal dancer. He is aristocratic as classical princes, as Espada in Don Quixote he invariably enchants audiences with his “Spanish” phrasing and the beauty of his lines, as Shurale in the eponymous ballet he displays expressive grotesque and he is incredibly musical in ballets by Balanchine and natural in contemporary choreography, be it Preljocaj’s heartfelt Le Parc, Forsythe’s tense ballets or Ratmansky’s ironic and virtuoso plastique. In Lavrovsky’s “ballet drama” Alexander Sergeyev has already made audiences empathise with his charming and truly Shakespearean Mercutio, while now the dancer will be presenting his interpretation of the role of Romeo.
