WIRGINIA SZMYT

"Vika!" protagonist.

The oldest DJ in Poland, and perhaps even in the world. Born in 1938, she is an educator, who has worked with disabled children and difficult young people, and for many years was director of a reformatory. After retiring, she became active in senior citizens' activities. She plays both at intergenerational dance parties and in the most fashionable youth clubs, always until dawn and wearing high heels. She defies stereotypes with her clothes, behaviour and lifestyle, reiterating that age is just a number, and that she does not intend to spend her old age sitting like a geranium in a window. She is sensitive to the needs of those whose voice is less heard.  That is why she never says no when an opportunity arises to support the elderly, the disabled, the LGBTQ+. She lives in Warsaw's Ochota district with her cat Duduś.
