Mathias Lenz (*1980, Linz) works in changing constellations and contexts at the interface between object theatre, performance art and mechanical engineering, sometimes also as an actor or a stage designer. He is not so much interested in the end product, but rather focuses on the process, on the working and reworking, the devising and discarding of solutions. He has collaborated intensively and for many years with the Berlin artists group Club Real, the Vienna theatre collective God’s Entertainment, the directors Astrid Griesbach, Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens, the choreographer Oleg Soulimenko and the singer-songwriter Christoph Theussl. Lenz lives in Vienna and is the father of two children.
