Fedor Kurekhin, born in St. Petersburg, is a director and writer based in Berlin. As a director, he specializes in the fusion of genres, exploring post-memory, and incorporating elements of his own biography. In his performances, he delves into local contexts and human relationships in the places where he works, constructing mythologies within them. Following this, he creates cross-genre narrative stories, immersing them in his biography through a total LO-FI theater approach.
