Den britiske stjernekoreograf Liam Scarlett har opført sig krænkende og uacceptabelt overfor flere af teatrets medarbejdere. Det skriver Det Kongelige Teater den 16. april i en pressemeddelelse, hvor de derfor aflyser en stort anlagt ballet. Dagen efter aflysningen bliver Liam Scarlett fundet død i sit hjem. Sagen ryster balletverdenen og puster liv i debatten om, hvordan man bør håndtere sager om krænkende adfærd. Hvad ved vi, om den unge stjernekoreografs tragiske død? Og hvad kan sagen lære os? Jakob Steen Olsen, teaterredaktør hos Berlingske, har fulgt sagen tæt. Vært: Knud Brix.
