There are probably many people, myself included, who have never even seen a ballet properly. For those of us who have never seen ballet, we tend to think of ballet as a beautiful dance that fits the words "lofty," "elegant," and "flowing. I had never imagined that ballet dancers have tattoos.
However, when you watch the documentary film "Dancer Sergei Polunin: The World's Most Elegant Beast," which opens in theaters on Saturday, July 15, that image will be shattered, and you will see that ballet is a physical art that possesses two extremes: beauty and intensity.
We will then draw 5 pairs of tickets for 10 people to the public preview of the film, which will be held on Thursday, June 29.
To apply, write "Polunin" in the subject line and include your name and address by 24:00 on Wednesday, June 21.presents@rhino-inc.jpPlease send an email to the following address. Winners will be announced by sending an email to the address below.

What do the interviews with him, his family, and others reveal about his true character?
He said, "I lost the meaning of dancing when I found out that my family was destroyed because of me," and "Ballet has stolen my life. I want a normal life. What path will the genius loved by ballet choose?
We, who tend to admire overwhelming talent, witness the suffering of a genius. In exchange for his talent and fame, what did he lose and what does he want? It is also interesting to watch this film from the perspective of a human drama.
