SOLO

For the first time, Pepijn Ronaldo stands alone on stage.
SOLO is a journey to find his own artistic voice, in a world full of dreams and expectations.

Pepijn walks the path of seven generations of “comédiens”. As a young boy, he took his first steps on the stage of Circus Ronaldo. At just nine years old, he played a full role in Circenses, touring the world alongside his family. After completing his circus training, Pepijn returned to his roots. He performed in Applause, Da Capo, and Sono io? — a show he created with his father, Danny Ronaldo, which earned him the award for Best Actor in 2022.

Until now, his artistic path was largely shaped by those around him. But now, it’s time for Pepijn to set his own course.

What, then, is “good enough” for this big, defining moment? In an intimate dialogue between performer and audience, Pepijn explores what truly matters. Is it about the spectacle and the tricks? Or rather about the deeply human emotions underneath — doubt, fear, joy?

SOLO is an ambitious race against time. Will the young circus artist lose himself in the weight of expectations and desires, or will he find himself along the way?
