Vai via is a theatre piece for children and young people aged 6 to 18, told through poetry and music. Iolanda Llansó plays Rita, an elderly woman who lives on the street in a converted double bass case. Inside it she keeps an alarm clock, her false teeth and a photo of her children, and each night she says goodnight to them before settling down to sleep.
By day she wanders the city streets, often scolded and chased away, yet she never gives up hoping for a quiet place to sleep. The show asks how she ended up there, why she always seems to be smiling, and what her life was like. It is also said that she was once the country's most famous female jazz double bassist, a question the performance invites its audience to explore.
