Vai via is a poetic and musical story about the ups and downs of life, performed by Iolanda Llansó. The piece follows 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 picture 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, but she never gives up hoping to find 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 once like. It also wonders whether she was, at one time, the country's most famous female jazz double bassist. Iolanda Llansó is also the creator of the concept, scenography and costumes, and the production is directed by Marc van der Velden.
