Saman skal vi leve* (We are to live together) was a theatre production by Sogn og Fjordane Theatre in 2005, created by director Aslak Moe, dramaturge Bodil Kvamme and the actors Jannik Bonnevie, Silje Breivik, Roger Hilleren, Idun Losnegård and Kyrre Eikås Ottersen based on interviews. The production was based on the events related to Arve Beheim Karlsen's death in 1999 and gave the theatre The Hedda Award 2006 in the special artistic achievement category.

The Hedda Jury gave the following reason:

"The special artistic achievement award provides the jury with an opportunity to honour efforts not covered by the other nine categories. For instance the award has gone to puppet designer Lisbeth Narud, playwright Jesper Halle and - last year - the entire staff of Rogaland Theatre. This year's award goes to a theatre which, in using an actual event, shaking the region, has created a contemporary, provoking production engaging way beyond the county borders.

The special artistic achievement award goes to Sogn og Fjordane Theatre (SoFT) for research-based teamwork and production of Saman skal vi leve* (We are to live together)."
