Lene Therese Teigen's play Mater Nexus is her most performed work. Mater Nexus is about the great issues of life: Love, career, the parenting role, illness and death. What do we expect from life? What is succeeding and what is being happy?
The stage text was developed over a three year long period, including in workshops at The Open Theatre (Det Åpne Teater) with a total of 25 involved actors.There are 13 female roles in the text, and since the opening in 2001 it has also been produced in Stockholm, Helsinki, Gothenburg and Tokyo. University papers have been written about Mater Nexus, at The University of Oslo and The University of Bergen.
Mater Nexus was published by the Norwegian publishing house Gullbakke Forlag in 2004 (Norwegian version), whereas Life Machine, The Archeologists and Square were published in a collected volume by the Norwegian publishing house Transit Forlag in 2008 (this, too, in the Norwegian-language version).

The latter collection consisted of the plays The Spider by Hulda Garborg (prologue by Arnhild Skre), Men of Honour by Laura Kieler (prologue by Inger-Margrethe Lunde), Sorte Svaner* (Black Swans) by Anna Munch (prologue by Lene Therese Teigen) and Undine by Alvilde Prydz (prologue by Lene Therese Teigen).
