Kalashnikoven ett annat säger speakerrösten i inledningen till "Bolshoi Babylon", som går upp på svenska biografer idag, fredag.I Malmö kan man se musikalen Billy Elliot, på SVT pågår just nu en dansmånad - där det finns flera balettinslag - och på C-More ligger sedan ett tag den lite orättvist förbisedda tv-serien "Flesh and bone" om en ung balettdansares försök att göra karriär i New York.Det är liksom lite balettsäsong den här våren.

Och hur skildras pressen, stressen och dansens skönhet när vi ser den på vita duken - från "Black Swan" till "Bolshoi Babylon"?P1 Kulturs programledare Roger Wilson får sällskap i studion av Julia Skott, skribent på bland annat sajten TV-dags, och kulturredaktionens Nina Asarnoj.Lyssna på hela fredagens P1 Kultur med Roger Wilson här

We even dug up a clip from an episode we recorded back in 2012 when James went to the inaugural Bowiefest in London and have edited into the post-credits of this week's podcast. Elsewhere, Steve Norman hosts with Owen Hughes, Andrew Brooker and Matt Lambourne back for reviews of Quentin Tarantino's new movie, The Hateful Eight, starring Kurt Russell, Samuel L Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh and more.

The death of one of the 20th century's most important composers and conductors, Pierre Boulez, was announced today.

A new film documentary Bolshoi Babylon gives us unprecedented access to the power struggles behind the scenes at Russia's most famous theatre, including the widely-reported acid attack in 2013 on the Bolshoi's former lead dancer and artistic director Sergei Filin that left him almost blind. The film's two co-directors Nick Read and Mark Franchetti discuss the challenges of dealing with the Kremlin-sponsored elites, the political divisions and the professional jealousies among the dancers and the management.
