Surplace

An ode to being on the road and to the art of letting go. Two people. A woman and a man. They are in the middle 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: 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 being. Their meeting on stage is a duet of tenderness, humor, and recognition. Live music of accordion and flute weaves through their acting, 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 after all. An ode to being on the road, to the art of letting go, to the game of life itself.
