About me

"I breathe in the world / and breathe it out with words of love" © Viola Livera /-/-/

 What keeps me feeling young as an older actress at 69? The adventurous spirit of constantly experiencing life anew, exploring new dimensions of human existence, the love of one's own body, which finds expression in dance and song, poetry as the mother of all languages. That is why I became an actress and am always passionate about new things today, from theater to film, from dubbing to radio, from acting to directing and writing. I am currently going to the theater in Bremerhaven in spring 2025 to play the role of "Mara" in the play "Harte Tage, gute Jahre", a play by Andrea Kindt. In the summer I will be in Hamburg with my own theater group with the plays DON QUIJOTE UNTER FREIEM HIMMEL and BARON MÜNCHHAUSEN AUF WEITER FLUR. In the fall we will follow the poetic traces through the city and the country. In between all this and much more, there will be time for film and television. I look forward to your inquiry. 
Until then, best wishes, Viola Livera, February 19, 2025
