”Det, at det var livelive!”

Publikums oplevelse af ”Jeg er drømmenes labyrint”

Resumé

Taking its starting point in a qualitative study of the audience’s experience of the performance I am The
Dreams Labyrinth, the present article discusses liveness, understanding and autenticity. From a desire to
”reflect which functions the theater should involve in the future and from which criteria society should
support and invest in theatre” (Ministry of Culture 2010, p. 7), the article claims the necessity of both close
analysis of performances and sociological oriented studies of the experiences of audiences.
