25.01.2018 / 18.15Uhr / GB 5|160

Die Theaterarbeiten des Regisseurs und Autors Boris Nikitin setzen sich seit rund zehn Jahren mit der Konstruktion von Identität und Realität auseinander. Seine Stücke suchen dabei stets den Grenzgang zwischen Illusionstheater und Performance. Mit „Hamlet“ eröffnete er 2016 das Impulse-Festival in Köln. Theater heute schreibt: „Wie wenig andere führt Boris Nikitin das Theater derzeit an einen kritischen Punkt.“
