Based on real events, but with small doses of fantasy, a lot of humour and songs, with this new project we get to know the insides of Maui’s colourful character, once again seducing the spectator in short distances, revealing untold truths from the other side of the music, his most theatrical and brave work to date. The sun was setting over the horizon on the beach of Utrera, where the waves take off to the beat …the breaded steaks were coming to an end, and a strange breeze was whistling soleá.

What will be on the other side? Thus begins this unusual journey through the adventures and misadventures of an artist who, without knowing how to swim, set off with her little boat across a sea of doubts and with curiosity as a lighted beacon. The swaying of the waves, a very inhabited solitude, a fishing rod, the oar of constancy, her kaleidoscope and the joke as a rudder… are some of the elements with which, surprisingly, our protagonist always manages to reach a safe harbour.

Maui

Maui was born in Utrera, Seville, historical cradle of flamenco, specifically in the El Tinte neighborhood. Her father and her uncle Miguel Vargas Jiménez, the great flamenco singer known as “Bambino”, were her first musical influences.
