'Lenz' is a famous novel by Georg Büchner about the life of the young poet Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz. Lenz's theme is the connection between the individual and the world. All of his considerations are concentrated in this basic problem. How can the world be imagined? How can an individual perceive the world?

Georg Büchner uses the poet Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz to depict the conflict between the individual and society, between self-realization and adaptation. The personality ideal of the young generation in German literature at the end of the 18th century turned against authority and tradition.

The use of video on stage on stage creates a discourse of these concepts of reality. The viewer can follow the real events as well as the video projection. The actor uses the camera like a prop to illustrate his monologue by changing perspectives. In 'Lenz', natural conditions, colors and weather moods play a major role. Light and dark do not only alternate in his state of mind. The lightdesign picks up on these topics and creates a change of light and dark, light & shadow in several scenes.
