The Sami National Theatre Beaivvás received The Hedda Award 2016 in the special artistic achievement category for Vidas extremas. Texts by Sigbjørn Skåden, Veronica Salinas, Rosa Chávez and Angel "Kame" Canas Ambrosio, compiled by Jon Tombre, were used in the production, which was also directed by Tombre.

The Hedda Jury gave the following reason:

"It has been claimed that theatre as an art can only blossom truly when society around it is disrupting, and a lot is at stake. Naturally, at home we rarely see this claim confirmed. But this year we have experienced it, in a sensation of a performance in which a disturbing political reality is presented through dance, poetry, music and theatre by performers who have been personally touched by it. The magic that arises when a personal, deeply felt political involvement is conveyed with superior sense of style and artistic precision - that is theatre for real."
