Ukrainian ballerinas, forced to flee war in their home country, have found temporary shelter at Berlin's main ballet company

Prima ballerina Iana Salenko, who tries to get the dancers auditions at ballet companies abroad or in other fields such as the opera, has danced in Berlin since 2005 but was born in Kyiv and can relate to her colleagues' struggles.

"I understand what they feel now, to lose their job, and lose everything," she told Reuters in an interview."They want just to give up, they don’t know how to go on with this situation. So of course, if I can help, it makes me happy. And they are really happy, they are just thankful for everything what I can do," Salenko said.The international ensemble of Berlin's State Ballet attends a training session at the Deutsche Oper opera house in Berlin, Germany, March 23, 2022.

According to ballet dramaturg Christiane Theobald, Russian artists are welcome, as the Staatsballett prides itself on being a melting pot for dancers coming together from all over the world. "It is our important task to ensure that a Russia-phobia won't emerge and that we will continue to value each other just as before the war," Theobald said.Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.comOur Standards:Subscribe to our sustainability newsletter to make sense of the latest ESG trends affecting companies and governments.
