Ivan! Utterly astounding. I saw him "by accident" when he danced in Costa Mesa, CA as a replacement/standby act.
Audience was hysterical. Ivanmania. Greatest dancer I've seen since Nureyev, Since Baryshinikov. Since Gregory Hines. Ivan. Ivan Ivan.
Ivan is a true genius. Pray he stays healthy & sane. As they say, the world is his oyster.

I am mesmerized, fascinated by this interpretation. Ivan Vasiliev is really amazing!

I think this has to do more with historical positioning, countries that were colonized or had slavery such as the US and Caribbean, are more sensitive to the black-face issue because it has negative connotations. Many times whites would dress up in black-face to mock or imitate blacks, making them appear ignorant and uncultured or even worse comparing them to monkeys and apes. The ballet is historically accurate, but it does touch a nerve with some racial and ethnic groups.

@fredrika27 My daughter is "colored" as I am a Finn and her father is from India. I never see my daughter in that sense, though. Anyway, I started up a conversation on this matter with her. She said that to her this is a show performance, it is just make up and she as a person with very dark brown skin is not offended in the least. Clowns wear white paint, should I be insulted?

He is truly one of the best male dancers that have ever lived. He should be remembered as well as Baryshnikov
-
I have seen him in a bunch of things now - all on film - and he is gigantically impressive - in the exotic roles in particular. I think he owns this variation internationally at the moment.

This young artist get the quality of dancing with his hart, for that reason he impress every body who see him. He is the definition of arts......
the whole topic considering sexual orientation is completely rediculous. most people, actually, do not care. in any event, its the ability that matters.
