Vai via is a poetic and musical theatre piece for children and young people aged 6 to 18, about the ups and downs of life. Performed by Iolanda Llansó, it follows Rita, an elderly woman who lives on the street in a converted double bass case. Inside it she keeps an alarm clock, her dentures and a picture of her children, and each night she says goodnight to them before settling down to sleep.
Rita wanders the city by day and is often shouted at and chased away, yet she never gives up hope of finding a quiet place to sleep. The show asks how she ended up there, why she always seems to be smiling, and whether she was once the country's most famous female jazz double bassist.
