SOLO

For the first time, Pepijn Ronaldo is alone on stage. In ‘SOLO’ he steps out of the safe circle of Circus Ronaldo and goes in search of his own artistic voice. Pepijn carries the trace of seven generations of comedians with him: as a child, he already traveled along. At 9, he played a full role in Circenses and after his training (circus humanities Leuven and Théâtre Lassaad Brussel) he returned to the family in 2020. Since then, he could be seen in ‘Applaus’, ‘Da Capo’ and ‘Sono io?’, for which he received an award for best acting performance (younger than 30 years) in 2022. ‘SOLO’ is a performance about the moment you live towards as a child and look back on as an older person. In an intimate dialogue with the audience, almost as if you are the jury, Pepijn gropes in the dark for what is “good enough”. Expect a chain of ideas and atmospheres: nostalgic, clownish, interactive, threatening, and physical, with a subtle echo of ‘Sono io?’. ‘SOLO’ is an ambitious journey against time. Close, sharp, and disarming. From and with: Pepijn Ronaldo (concept, creation, execution, technique, and music) and Danny Ronaldo (acting coaching).
