Danny Ronaldo & Mieke Laureys

Two people. A woman and a man. They are in the middle 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 standing surplace. Like in cycling: balancing with your feet on the pedals you are in full motion but you are no longer moving forward. In 'Surplace', Mieke Laureys (Johnny MUS) and Danny Ronaldo (Circus 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. 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 appetite, between dreams and reality. About the illusion that you can plan life and mold it to your hand, and the realization that aging cannot be directed after all. An ode to being on the road, to the art of letting go, to the game of life itself.
