“Sergei Dreiden always wanted to be free – and he was. Any hint of hierarchy was incompatible with his nature, with his artistic and human organization. He did not serve in the troupe of the Bolshoi Drama Theater, he did not want to serve at all, that is, he did not want to be built into any system, structure, organization. Because he truly served only art, always remaining what he wanted – a guest artist, ”the BDT’s mourning message says.
