Vita (2013)
About the show
Vita was our first production as a part of The Buzz project, which gives 16-19 year olds ultimate creative responsibility for making an original show. Under the guidance of professional mentors, a young writer, director and designer worked with a cast of 11-18 year olds to make this show which premiered at The Station Bristol in April 2013.
Stop and think: are you proud of your life so far? Are there parts of your life you would rather forget? Or are there parts that you would give anything to re-live?
The struggles, the joys, regrets and every forgetful day in between is flashed in front of three unsuspecting people as they see just what their life has been like and what it has become.
