Sergei Polunin - Ballet
Who is Sergei Polunin?
Sergei is a Ukrainian ballet dancer who was formerly a principal dancer with the British Royal Ballet and is currently a principal dancer with Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Academic Music Theatre and the State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre in Novosibirsk.What does he love?
Ballet and men. Check the following video directed by David LaChapelle."Take me to Church" by Hozier.The original clip featured two men kissing. Sergei lives and works in Russia, so this new video is therefore assumed to be about raising awareness and support for gay rights in the controversially anti-gay Russia.
The song, to me, is about what it is to be a human, what it is to love someone as a human being, and organizations that would undermine that, and undermine the more natural parts of being a person.This post is part of my Inspiration Weekly 2015 resolution. The resolution aims to inspire others to chase their dreams and start doing what they love. Check the Weeklies so far!
If you feel offended or disgusted by the image of two people kissing, if that’s what it is, but you’re more disgusted by that than the actual violence… I think you should take a look at your values, maybe.
I don’t think there really should be a controversy when we’re talking about a basic human right and the equal treatment of people. - Hozier
