When I was a kid, when I was born,
I had that spirituality, I think.
I felt it.
And my mom said that I was somewhere from India.
I was vegetarian.
I couldn't hurt a tree, or a leaf, or a flower.
and insects were very important to me.
I wouldn't let anybody hurt insects...
...or anything.
So she thought you had a connection with India?
With India, yes...
That's crazy.
She thought, like, I was from some tribe because I was
dancing when I was a kid and singing some Indian songs.
And now, I am trying to come back to that place
because when I was a kid, I was,
I had the right vision
And the right feel for life.
But then we get so caught up with life.
We go off the road and make wrong decisions or,
I don't know, wrong turns.
But I think when we were kids...
Hmm... more pure...
...it's a pure state.
And that's where I want to go back.
India is a land of Gods.
A land of gurus and swamis and guides.
India is a land for seekers.
India welcomes everyone.
I think it's important to have...
I don't know what you call them...
-Angels?
No, they're like...
You know in Tibet you have, like,
coach - not coaches, but...
- Like a life coach? No?
I forgot the name for them.
- Mentors, gurus...
- Mentor! Mentors. - Mentors, yeah.
Uh, and in the Western culture.
we don't have mentors.
Ya.
And that's why my certain time of life was off.
'Cause I didn't have any mentoring.
Exactly, yeah.
Nobody told me, 'oh painkillers are bad' or like,
I always thought, 'oh, that makes me happy and I should take it!' you know.
'Oh, that kills the pain, I shouldn't feel pain'.
So people end up making the same mistakes,
Over and over, for generations.
Or, you can have a mentor who lives through that life
and just tells you, 'no no, that's'...
- That's the right path.
You still have to listen to yourself, of course.
I believe India was something...
From childhood,
Something from the past,
or the future, I don't know.
I came here before for only a day or two days...
It changed my life that I stopped drinking,
I stopped talking drugs,
there was a big switch towards light and towards good, that...
and at the same time India almost killed me.
But, it was nature that...
- Yeah, again.
that kind of, in a harsh way, showed me.
Because, I got like, bitten by something, in India
and I almost died. It got infected.
But it was nature showing me in harsh way that you have to...
Correct your ways...
...that you have to correct your ways.
So before coming here, I was scared.
Because India could, you know, the nature, or India, can be very...
can do it in a harsh way,
or it can do it in a nice way.
I was intrigued with your energy.
I didn't know you, when we met.
But I felt that that there's...
You may not necessarily believe in God, or Gods,
but there's some strong belief in everything you do in your life.
Like, you believe in something, I don't know what that is.
No, for sure. I actually believe in everything, in a way.
Yeah, yeah, like wha wha...
I believe in Buddhism. I believe in, I don't know, Christianity.
I believe in Jesus. I believe in Universe.
And I do believe in God.
I see all of it, like, when - I do pray.
I don't know, but I pray to all of them.
Ya.. you...
I don't pray to, I don't choose one particular thing.
I take all good or all holy things or all...
anything that represents uh something good,
I can believe in that.
I think at age 14, maybe
that's where I stopped believing.
I lived a life in certain way.
and at age fourteen, I went off the road.
Like, I stopped being spiritual.
I, uh, I stopped praying.
I don't know... I became cold. I didn't cry for, like, many years,
Just I went like really,
a bit off.
A bit off, yeah.
And maybe age 24, 25.
I started to come back that.
But it's a pure choice. It was a pure choice. Do I wanna.
keep going 'til the end with that
dark side, you know, the bad side?
Yeah.
Or do I want to
find a way? And it was a choice. It's like a pure
unconscious choice - or conscious choice.
...if it's right or wrong.
Why you are making it...
Yeah, you just think, 'do I go good or bad?'
Because it's so much fun to be bad. It's like, it's...
and it's much easier. It's easier to be...
to have fun, be bad, to destroy things. It's more fun.
In a way, it's like a phoenix.
Yeah, you have to
destroy to
destroy everything to build again. Yes.
And in a way...
I was hoping that I don't have to do that.
But you are.
But, in a way, yes.
To build it from scratch and live a completely different...
That's fascinating, because there's so many people who may want to do that.
How do, how do you that? How do you
...destroy Sergei, and then...
When destruction happens it's the most fun.
The most fun is destruction, because the hardest part is to build it.
And when you build it to the level that you think,
it's good, destruction part is the fun part.
And it's the quickest. You can do it in a week.
Or in a day.
Just light it up! It's gone.
Yes, uh, so.. that part is actually the most fun.
Yeah, I believe in karma.
You are serving your karma, or
Or you got good life because your
previous lives or ancestors did something good.
So I believe in the repeat, for sure.
So, therefore, do you fear
what you do in this lifetime?
Not fear. I can't say I fear.
But I definitely want to do good.
I want to do as good as I can.
- I'm not going to ask you to define that, Sergei.
- I'm not going to.
What I meant was, if you are conscious of life beyond this,
do you do things subconsciously to insure that the
next life is gonna be better that this one or?
Or at least the same?
I don't even think the same life can repeat.
You don't have to be on this planet, or you have to be a human.
You know, you can be a different energy.
You can be a different thing, like a star.
I believe everything has,
has similar souls...
like a tree, or a planet, or a moon.
So, you don't have to be a human.
I definitely think about it sometimes...
Would I want to be a human?
again? Or something else? Yeah...
Because human is, I believe, quite
I believe quite primitive.
It's not...
You're saying humans are not an evolved species?
Uh, no. I don't think so.
No, it's quite primitive and quite simple.
Simple way of thinking.
Wow. So therefore, you think you're above humans?
Um... in general, I don't look...
I never look...
small. I don't look in. I always see a planet
and I see it from that angle.
You're like standing on top of the planet?
Sort of in space. Not even standing, just
floating around. But I always see a planet.
That's how my judgments come from,
from seeing the planet from space.
And the planet is your home?
Uh...
Yeah, at the moment. Yeah., right now, yeah.
But I don't feel...
Attached.
I don't feel attached at all.
What was your highest point,
That moment you felt you had exceeded
all your expectations as an artist?
That one moment you stood there...
or that moment is still to come?
Yeah... I didn't feel that yet.
You never felt it?
No.
You've done your best already though, right?
In terms of performance you've done your best.
- Or is it still to come? - No no, never.
I'm always out of shape, like I'm never there.
Hahaha.
I am always, like, on the verge of will I make it, will I not?
It's always stressful.
You know I was going to ask you a question.. For you,
ballet was a passion, or a profession?
Or did it change over a period of time?
I think it changed.
Initially what was it?
Initially, I didn't know what that was, You know... uh...
Probably first few years I was doing it, I didn't even know why.
What it looks like. You're just repeating steps.
But it came from you?
Uh.. I just did my best. Because I came from gymnastics,
and in gymnastics, it was,
you repeat the routine.
So, I just did that.
But, uh.. only later later I realized that it was more like an art,
art form.
Um, but yeah. Sometimes I thought it's job.
You know just come and dance.
Sometimes I felt.. uh.. I love doing it.
It's just in different periods of time.
In school, I think school system...
..is a little too strict,
and too
Ballet school is about telling you what you do, and you just do it.
Not, 'how do you think you should do it?' Or,
What is.. you know..
'what do you feel inside?'
Only when I did the private lessons outside of school,
It was more about, 'oh, do a pirouette
in an open window',
And the light is going through it, and feel the light.
Feel the grass
Feel, feel it's a field of flowers and you jumping over the flowers.
So, only when I did the, these private lessons.
Uh, teachers would
talk like that. But not in school.
In school, it was like bum, bum, bum, bum.
...and it's boring music,
And they make you, like, hate what you do.
And it's like, so strict. We weren't allowed to go to the toilet.
So, that's why you were so naughty.
You were rebelling against that.
I mean you have to be, because you weren't allowed to
smile in class. You weren't allowed to laugh.
For sure people don't like to change things.
But the life is about change. Like is in constant change.
Very true.
If you sit still, like we spoke before, it dies.
And ballet so far's been like Romeo and Juliet or...
They like lived 300 years ago, like people don't..
I mean it's beautiful, but it's hard to relate.
to that now. Which, in my opinion, doesn't work in
the existing world anymore. Because it's not relevant.
You have to create stories people can relate to.
You have to
to use media. You have to use TV, cinema.
But ballet never went out of this elitist group,
And people with wealth
and power, they are very smart.
They go there because they get, almost, enlightened.
You know, it's spiritual.
And they kept it to themselves? Ah...
That's why when revolutions happened people went to the theatre,
Cause that's where..
The elite came?
That's where...
I don't know.. the wealth, the elite, were.
Because they're smart. They're not stupid people. So they
And they wanted, they still want to keep it to themselves.
There is a side that wouldn't want to open it, of course.
But you have to. You know.
And that's my strategy.
I'm going with existing... I'm going with an existing...
umm... system. So I'm going still with elitists.
I'm still performing for a lot of...
The purists.
to get financial support to be able to...
to show work.
You don't mix words, do you?
hahahaha...
You're a strange person. On one side you are
very true, and you are also
Manipulative. But you're manipulative in a good way.
You tell the person, 'Hey, I'm going to manipulate you.
And I hope it's okay, because it's for a good reason.' I like that.
No, but,
And I...
I believe in telling the truth.
What I understood from your energy, is that...
you're not very fond of humans.
Is that true? Generally?
Humans?
Humans are the least things I care about.
But, uh, but I do care about children.
That's the purest form. But children is like animals, like insect.
It's a pure thing.
It's like unprotected, pure energy.
But when we grow up, we become something else...
Sergei, Sergei, the children have something they want to gift to you.
I don't know. I, I, I like India because..
People and nature, kind of, molded.
It's like, I don't see poor people, I see free people.
If I could have a choice, I would live in the poor areas.
Poor areas, where everyone is together.
Cooking, talking,
together with animals, living.
- it's amazing. Because it's real.
And you feel earth. You feel grounded.
But as a performer when you walk into an arena
Do you care to connect with the audience?
For sure, it's all about that.
It is right?
Because I am performing for audience,
that's the only thing important.
I'm not there because I love, you know, wiggling my legs.
It's that energy.
And I don't believe in...
In how you move, it's not about
Because sometimes I take in to nothing.
I'm just standing there. And that's the strongest.
Because it's not about movement.
It's about energy.
It's like you're a shaman in a way.
A shaman?
Shaman. You know, like in tribes.
Ah, okay.
Because I'm exchanging an energy.
That's what's people are getting energy.
It's not the running around or jumping.
It's like okay, it is the energy.
It doesn't matter what you do.
Once you're done with destruction, what's the new Sergei?
I don't know.
I always have the biggest goal, and I know I will achieve it.
Umm.. it's unity of the world.
Because we have to be one, to be able to go...
elsewhere..
So you use your art form?
Yeah, to make a world safer for a while, until we go
to different planets.
As a human species, cause that's what's interesting,
is to colonize, travel somewhere.
Not to focus on the little thing...
I just want to say one thing. I want to interrupt you.
Remember the chant we missed yesterday,
Because we had to rush here, to see Lord Shiva at sunset?
That's the chant. It just started.
Oh really?
That's the Hanuman Chalisa.
See, you didn't miss it.
So that is the monkey God, god of strength.
Remember the one? So this is the chant we missed
And it just started being played.
So you are going to try and connect the whole world?
Spread some more love and unity?
It's about realizing that, like I realized,
that there's no difference between human beings. It's like,
It doesn't matter, if you are politician, or a normal person,
Or a high skilled worker or director. It's like,
doesn't matter, we are just human beings, trying to do our best.
And that realisation, because we can change the world in one day.
But that mind set comes after a long time...
It came to me after years and years of travelling, meeting people.
There's nothing you have to fear about.
I'm sure something shocked you.
No, what shocked me how much it didn't bother to see dead people.
Yeah, I understand. it was like.. but!
But when I was a kid, I was never bothered by death.
and I loved graveyards.
I thought that was the most peaceful place.
And, when uh...
When, like, one of my relatives died,
it was not like a shock or a bad feeling. It was like, okay that's
actually a good feeling about it.
It didn't...
So about death, I...
But I, it was shocking to see a dead body and it's like, not feeling
Nothing about it
I remember you standing and one dad body was below and one passed you right besides your face.
Yeah, but... I had a good feeling about it.
But very strong when we were inside that room
I see a lot of Shiva in you.
You're crazy, and very powerful.
And you have a deep soul.
I see you as a reincarnation of Lord Shiva.
Brother, you're truly special.
