Mimi Lien

Mimi Lien (Scenic Design Consultant) is a designer of sets/environments for theater, dance, and opera. Arriving at set design from a background in architecture, her work often focuses on the interaction between audience/environment and object/performer. In 2015, she was named a MacArthur Fellow, and is the first set designer ever to achieve this distinction. Selected work includes the 2023 revival of Sweeney Todd (Broadway, Tony nomination), Parsifal (Bayreuth Festival), Natasha, Pierre, & The Great Comet of 1812 (Broadway, TONY Award, Lortel Award, Hewes Design Award), Fairview (Soho Rep/TFANA), and An Octoroon (Soho Rep/TFANA, Drama Desk and Lortel nominations). Her stage designs have been exhibited in the Prague Quadrennial, and her sculptures were featured in the exhibition, LANDSCAPES OF QUARANTINE, at the Storefront for Art and Architecture.
