"The text is just twenty pages long. And yet it contains an entire century." Nürnberger Nachrichten
"It is very quiet in the theatre. There is no "good evening" and "goodbye", but only a sudden coming and going. And in between, the pages of life are spread out, read out, tasted, thought through." Nachtkritik
"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

Essay on Dying in the church
On tour for over five years. Next show of «Essay on Dying» is in Kunstkirche Pax Christi in Krefeld.
When: 08. & 09. November 2025
“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.”
