Actor
Elena Abramenkova
Actress
A theater and film actress, model and special-needs educator. Her love of acting has grown since childhood; sensitivity and a childlike openness help her feel her characters and stay honest with the audience, conveying everything her inner world holds.
Natalia Chernysheva
Actress
An actress without formal acting training — always at once afraid of being on stage and longing for it. She has taken part in amateur productions and concerts and performed stand-up. Happy to be part of Art Code.
Olga Kuznetsova
Actress
An actress for whom theater is above all a way to give the audience emotions that stay with them after the show. “If after a performance someone says they were moved to tears, all the hours of rehearsal were worth it.” Olga performs in Russian-language productions and is growing into Dutch- and English-language theater; beyond the stage she appears in Dutch films, series, TV shows and commercials.
Kirill Uvarov
Actor · Assistant director
Professionally trained in theater, Kirill has worked on stage for many years as an actor and takes part in creating performances and theater projects — from the idea and the staging process to organisation and meeting the audience. For him, theater is not only the stage and the roles: it is a space to explore the human being, to speak about complex things in simple language, to experiment and to create living contact between people. That is the theater he is excited to make at Art Code — modern, open and unafraid to step beyond familiar forms.
Founder of the theater

PR manager
Elena Cheldaeva
Producer · PR manager
A producer and PR manager. “For me, theater is a space where people with different cultural backgrounds and values can meet and truly hear each other — or look at familiar things from a new angle. In the Art Code team I help stories find their audience.”
Lighting and sound
Dmitry Anosov
Lighting and sound engineer
A sound engineer and lighting designer. “I believe the audience's emotions are made not only of the actors' performance, but of subtle details — the play of shadows, the right pause and clean sound. I am happy to create this atmosphere together with the theater.”

Lighting and sound engineer
Costumes
Anna Atman
Costume designer
Set decoration
Sofia Tolmacheva
Set decorator
“I love the process itself — watching something real gradually emerge from ordinary materials. And the most wonderful part is seeing the finished set on stage and knowing a piece of your work lives in it.” For Sofia, theater became a way to try a new direction, learn what she couldn't do before, and be part of a big creative process where everyone contributes to the show.
