. Many theater critics have noted the convention challenging nature of Laub's work. When reviewing ''Daniel and the Dancers'' one writer commented that "the theatrical illusion has been destroyed, and what is happening on stage is simply a new reality." Deconstructing theater, finding novel ways in which to reconfigure the elements of a performance, is what fascinates and distinguishes this artist. A review pertaining to the same piece in the Danish newspaper

attributes a certain violence to this theatrical approach. "This is masterful comedy," writes Monna Dithmer, "-served by the Laub diva Charlotte Engelkes-and a masterclass in the Laub technique, the aim of which is to smash the whole theatre process into bits and pieces and display them in all their naked glory." It was only in the mid nineties, and in particular with the success of the play ''Rough'', that Michael Laub/Remote Control Productions garnered international recognition. As a result, the ensuing works became more elaborate in scope and far-reaching in audience. An example of this was Laub's play ''Total Masala Slammer/Heartbreak No. 5'' (2001), in which six months of research in India brought his fascination with

lauded the resulting mash-up, stating the play's "masterful blend of condensed fairytales, biographical notes, and exquisitely transfigured personae from Andersen’s universe is achieved through clarity of dramatic structure, the lightness of the 'show' form, the outstanding dancers and performers, and the subtle music of Larry Steinbachek". Between the large-scale productions of ''Total Masala Slammer'' and ''The H.C. Andersen Project'', Laub directed ''Portraits 360 Sek'' at Hamburg's

in ''The Biography Remix'' (2004-'05), content called for a multi-layered format; "One moment you are watching the young Abramović on video, the next Abramović played by one of her young students, then Abramović in the flesh", but the object remained grounded in a very direct approach. While one critic noted that "above all one remembers authentic emotion, which culminated in the final glimpse of a smile from the artist. It is beautiful, very beautiful; terribly intimate; and perfectly universal."

concluded that "''The Remix'' is generally as disturbing as it is moving". A quality one would anticipate, even aspire to, in a performance chronicling the life and work of an artist who has spent decades pushing the boundaries of physical and emotional endurance. ''360 Sek'' and the ensuing ''Portrait Series'' projects (there have been five to date) eschew almost all theatrics and strip the performer's role down to often uncomfortably intimate biographical details. "By linking the unstructured with the well-calculated, the director subtly conveys to the audience some idea of those elements of which theatre is composed: exuberance and effort, yearning and application, happiness and fear. Yet because the individual portraits are so direct, as an exercise in vanity this self-portraiture remains modest. The quietly non-intentional gets the same six short minutes as the noisily exhibitionist, and that is why, in the final resort, the theatre emerges victorious as a powerhouse of the imagination as opposed to a factory of personalities." The focus is on realism and authenticity. This is made all the more evident with Laub often favoring non-professionals for these projects, as their untrained stage personae are all the more vulnerable and raw. ''The Portrait Series'' have proven popular, in part due to the concept's adaptability. From a theoretical point of view, ''The Portrait Series'' is an endeavor wherein he tests theater's global vocabulary. The idea being that virtually any entity comprising interesting characters can be formatted by Laub for a ''Portrait Series'' show. He opened 2010 with the highly personal, original composition ''Death, Dance and some Talk'' in Berlin (February), followed by ''Portrait Series Istanbul'' (April–May), ''Portrait Series Rotterdam'' (September), and commencing work on the ''Burgporträts'' at the

, Vienna. After opening the ''Burgporträts'' (March) in 2011, Michael Laub's attentions shifted to the emerging arts scene in Cambodia. For the past five years he has embarked on a series of projects exploring traditional and contemporary Cambodian artistic expression.

The result is a virtuosic and impressive interconnection of film, theatre, dance, literature, comic, manga, yoga and an excessive display of costumes.“ With his latest work ''Rolling'' Laub continued the disposition of intertwining film and theater on stage and conceived a play that was entirely composed out of over 200 film excerpts staged in a roughly two-hour piece. In 2019, it premiered at Hebbel am Ufer (HAU) Berlin and toured ImPulsTanz Festival in Vienna the same year. Michael Laub is founder and artistic director of the artist in residency programme ''The Umbrellas of Phnom Penh (TUOPP)''. From 2017-18 ''TUOPP'' was a unique structure in

that accommodated residencies for international artists and local creatives from different fields of practice including visual artists, video/film makers, dancers, choreographers, sound artists and designers. In addition to his stage-work, Laub has held several guest professorships (at the University of Giessen, the Free University Berlin, the Norwegian Theatre Academy), as well as a residency at HfG Karlsruhe in 2011. In 2020 he held the Valeska Gert Guestprofessorship at Free University Berlin’s MA Dance Sciences for a second time after teaching there in 2006/07. In 2021 he publishes ''Rewind Song'', a book in which he remixes images and text from past works in a non-chronological order. Incorporating video, dance and media art in his performative work practice since the seventies, he now transferred those encounters into his first mid-length film ''The Post Confinement Travelogue'' (2023).
