“A performance that would require a research approach; it’s not possible to analyse everything that it includes in a short review. An exceptionally thoughtful and refined, simply brilliant work of art.”

What if we imagined a neo-fascist as a sentimental, vulnerable person who questions the reality? In times when everyone has become satirical, when they appropriated tools of exaggeration, like provocation, caricature, polemic, the theatre is forced to re-claim these tools.

Boris Nikitin investigates the line between reality and fiction, between document and its fake, and just loves to blow up those categories. He plays with the rhetoric and propaganda. At first, you identify with the fascistic discourse on stage, then the fact you bought it chills you to the bone, then you ask yourself how could this happen in the first place. What is the reality represented on stage? The categories are blurred, everything is questioned.
