Boris Nikitin, a Basel-born artist with roots in Ukraine, Slovakia, France, and Judaism, is a multifaceted force in the world of theatre. As a director, author, and curator of the biennial festival “It’s The Real Thing – Basel Documentary Platform,” Nikitin has spent over thirteen years exploring the complexities of identity and reality through his productions, texts, and happenings. His works defy categorization, blurring the line between illusion and performance, and challenging the boundaries of documentary and propaganda. Nikitin’s highly acclaimed pieces have traveled the globe, offering raw and unapologetic commentary while remaining meticulously crafted. “Boris Nikitin is a beacon of critical thought in contemporary theatre,” praises “Theater heute,” a leading professional journal in Germany. And according to “Tagesanzeiger,” a daily newspaper in Zurich, Nikitin is a force to be reckoned with in the world of documentary theatre, pushing its limits with unparalleled fervor.
