There, he also completed his master\u2019s studies in literature and theatre studies with the thesis Implikatuuri poeetika Nikolai Baturini loomingus. Mittes\u00f5naline tuletamine v\u00e4ljam\u00f5eldises<\/em> (\u2018Poetics of Implicature in Nikolai Baturin<\/a>\u2019s Poetics. Non-verbal Derivation in Fantasy\u2019, 2013).

The collection oozes gloomy nostalgia, it also has a surreal level. Thematically, the prose collection Veidrikud ja v\u00f5patused<\/em> (\u2018Weirdos and Flinches\u2019, 2012) is linked to the poetry collection; it depicts the periphery of Estonia at the end of the Soviet period through the eyes of boy growing up and evolving there. Kilusk stands out for his folksy and colourful usage of the language.\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe play Kirvet\u00fc\u00fc<\/em> (\u2018Rough Work\u2019), written in the Seto variety of Estonian, depicts the life in a peripheral Seto village in the confusing early 1990s. It premiered in 2019. The play received the first prize in the playwriting competition of the Estonian Theatre Agency in 2017 and in 2021 the award of the Estonian Theatre Union for original Estonian plays. Kilusk is the text author of several popular summer productions, for example Ada. R\u00e4\u00e4kimata lugu<\/em> (\u2018Ada. The Unspoken Story\u2019) about the actor Ada Lundver and Vana klaver ehk Suusabaasis on tantsupidu<\/em> (\u2018The Old Piano or Dance Party at a Ski Camp\u2019) about the singer Kalmer Tennosaar.\n<\/p>\n \n\tKilusk is primarily known as a dramaturge who has written arrangements for Lydia Koidula<\/a>\u2019s play S\u00e4\u00e4rane mulk ehk sada vakka tangusoola<\/em> (\u2018The Man from Mulgimaa, or A hundred Bushels of Groats\u2019), August Gailit<\/a>\u2019s novel Toomas Nipernaadi<\/em> and A. H. Tammsaare<\/a>\u2019s novel P\u00f5rgup\u00f5hja uus Vanapagan<\/em> (\u2018The Misadventures of the New Satan\u2019).\n<\/p>\n \n\tKilusk has published literary criticism and written filmscripts.
