Max Faatz, born and raised in Hamburg, discovered his passion for theatre in an amateur theatre group. After graduating from high school, he was part of the immersive theatre project OPOLUM before beginning his acting studies at the Otto Falckenberg School in Munich in 2021. Prior to that, he briefly studied philosophy and empirical linguistics in Kiel, but never completed his degree.
During his acting studies, Max cultivated close artistic relationships, in particular his collaboration with actress Clara Pinheiro Walla and director Ruben Müller, which had a lasting influence on his artistic work.
He also had significant encounters with Jorinde Dröse, Anne Habermehl, Florian Fischer, Georgette Dee, Christine Umpfenbach and Frauke Poolmann, among others.
During his studies, he appeared in various productions at the Munich Kammerspiele and the Ingolstadt City Theatre.
In 2025, he completed his acting training at the Otto Falckenberg School. From the 2025/26 season onwards, he will be a permanent member of the ensemble at the Lucerne Theatre.
