Blessed by an extraordinary balance, Serge Polunin stormed the dance world and became the youngest Royal Ballet’s director ever. But his brilliance had a high price. At the height of his success, at the age of 25, he moved away from his career and began a process of self-destruction as he started to face his talent more like a burden than a gift. This is an unprecedented look over the life of this complex, rebellious, urban, and iconoclastic young man, also known as the Airborne Angel. How can you be free when your body is ballet’s property?
