aliveduo

Hi! We are aliveduo, an artistic partnership formed by Alena Starostina and Ivan Nikolaev, working in the field of time-based media. Born in Saint Petersburg, Russia. In 2010, we co-founded theatre post, where we worked in the fields of "new drama" and experimental theatre in Russia. After relocating to Germany in 2022, we began working as aliveduo and have continued our practice in theatre while also expanding into filmmaking.
