Essay on Dying in India
On tour for over five years, in over 35 cities. Next, “Essay on Dying” will make a guest appearance at the Alice Boner Institute in Varanasi/India.
When: 21.12.2024“A radical and at the same time tender text.”
Bayrischer Rundfunk“This is theater at its zero point. But it is precisely in this radicality that the pathos of this evening arises.” bz
“Because Nikitin, in his own initial helplessness, develops a clear language for disturbing thoughts that are difficult to sort out. Because he confronts pain and grief with something that is not a pale consolation, but a courageous self-assertion. Versuch über das Sterben is not so much about death, but about life.”

"What a risk! You can hardly expose yourself more."
Bajour"`Because no one hears anyone else say anything, no one says anything.` In this seeming tautology, Nikitin captures the manipulative power of surveillance states, documentation technologies, and collectives." Süddeutsche Zeitung
