SURPLACE - Mieke Laureys & Danny Ronaldo

Two people. A woman and a man. They are in the prime of life. Too old to still be young. Too young to accept that nothing is possible anymore and nothing has to be anymore. They are surplace. As in cycling: balancing with your feet on the pedals, you are in full motion but you are no longer moving forward. In Surplace make Mieke Laureys and Danny Ronaldo (circus Ronaldo) together take stock. 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 bend it to your will, and the realization that getting older cannot be directed. An ode to being on the road, to the art of letting go, to the game of life itself.
