The puppeteer and actress Lilith Maxion trained at the Atelier for Physical Theatre in Berlin, and graduated with distinction in 2021 from the diploma programme in contemporary puppetry at the Ernst Busch University of Theatre Arts Berlin.
Since then, she has worked freelance and developed her own pieces. She has performed as a guest artist at various theatres, including the Theater St Gallen, the Theater Koblenz, the Musiktheater im Revier in Gelsenkirchen, the Schaubude Berlin and the Darmstadt State Theatre.
Her devised drama Lilith – Mutter der gemischten Vielzahl has been shown at numerous theatre festivals. Her solo research project Perpetuum and the devised family drama ich weiß noch genau, wie es nicht war were funded by the Fonds Darstellende Künste.
Her most recent appearances have included the title role in Daniel Auber’s opera Die Stumme von Portici (La Muette de Portici) at the Darmstadt State Theatre, Nie wieder Friede after Ernst Toller at the steirischer herbst festival in Graz and, most recently, Yoram Kaniuk’s Kukuríku at TD Berlin.
She previously worked with the director Fabiola Kuonen on Andrej Platonov’s Die Baugrube at the Reaktorhalle in Munich, and in 2026 makes her debut under Kuonen’s direction at the Salzburg Festival in King Arthur Junior.
