Two people. A woman and a man. They are in the prime of life. Too old to be young anymore. Too young to accept that nothing is possible and nothing is necessary anymore. They are surplace. Like in cycling.
In Surplace Mieke Laureys and Danny Ronaldo take stock together. Two players who have known and appreciated each other for years share their love for the small stories behind the human being. Their meeting on stage is a duet of tenderness, humor, and recognition. Live music of accordion and flute weaves through their play, comfortingly lifts the memories, or perhaps just lights the fire again.
Surplace is not a performance about being old, but about the road to it. About balancing between yesterday and tomorrow, between melancholy and desire, between dreams and reality. About the illusion that you can plan life and mold it to your will, and the realization that growing older cannot be directed. An ode to being on the way, to the art of letting go, to the game of life itself.
