John Maytham speaks to Boris Nikitin, theatre director and creator of Essay on Dying, about transforming personal loss into art, and why the production also intertwines his father's final journey with his own experience of coming out as a gay man two decades earlier. The result is a powerful meditation on identity, love, memory and the courage required to reveal oneself honestly to others. Following each performance, audiences are invited to stay for a post-show conversation with Nikitin, creating a rare opportunity to engage directly with the artist and the questions his work leaves lingering long after the lights come up.
