LIVE THE LIFE
Premiere August 25th 2018
BORNHOLMS TEATER, Denmark
Live the Life, is a life-affirming play about death, about being a relative of a sick person, about a family in transition – but above all about growing up. We follow Maja in her development from being the daughter who takes care of other people’s lives to becoming an independent woman. A development that requires courage, strength, love, and joy. The play was performed at Bornholms Teater in 2018, and Rhea Leman was nominated for the renowned Danish theater prize, Reumert, for best play.

GREAT ART at a SMALL THEATER
“Leve Livet” is a scoop—a highly successful, elegantly crafted, and finely reflected jab at the mental abscess that most of us are reluctant to discuss in time with our loved ones: death. Despite the serious theme, you actually cannot help but smile and laugh along the way, as irony and self-irony radiate from this delightful performance”.
Lars Christian Wredstrøm Wallenberg, BØRSEN
*****
Learn Wisdom from Life’s Scenes” is written above the stage at Rønne Theater… and that is exactly what playwright Rhea Leman has done, and what she now draws upon in her latest play, LEVE LIVET. LEVE LIVET is a performance that can and should be enjoyed by everyone—right now!”
Michael Søby, CphCULTURE
“…Because I was moved! It is truly brave how Bornholms Teater takes on some of these major themes without it ever becoming a sad or drawn-out affair. This is likely due to the abundance of humor in the play that keeps everything in balance. … ‘Leve livet’ is truly well-written.”
Kasper Spez, KULTURFORMIDLEREN
