Italian theatre calls off show by prominent Russian dancer who has tattoos of Putin

Sergei Polunin's Jan. 28-29 show at Milan's Arcimboldi theatre was cancelled "due to the pressing campaign (against it) on the internet and social media", the theatre said on its website. Polunin has three tattoos of President Vladimir Putin on his chest and shoulders.

Polunin was due to star in the "Rasputin - Dance Drama" ballet, originally scheduled for 2019 and repeatedly postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
