Britain's What's On Event Guide
SOLO
- Where fame seduces, identity fractures, and silence becomes the scream -
SOLO is an intimate exploration of how trauma, mental health, and obsession—combined with isolation and a culture increasingly focused on material success and popularity—can fragment and erode a person's identity, slowly pulling them into an unstoppable downward spiral.
Blending physical theatre, surrealism, clowning, and poetic storytelling, SOLO is a gripping and visually striking one-person show that takes you deep into the mind of an artist struggling to survive in a world obsessed with fame, perfection, and digital validation. As mechanisation strips us of our essence, we drift further from our own nature, disconnecting from ourselves and others in pursuit of an artificially constructed Nirvana—an illusion of success and recognition that demands the ultimate sacrifice: truly living. Raw, darkly funny, and thought-provoking, SOLO is perfect for anyone who loves powerful storytelling, psychological drama, and socially relevant themes. If you’ve ever questioned your place in the world or felt the weight of society’s expectations, this show will speak to you. Ideal for theatre lovers, young creatives, and anyone fascinated by identity, ambition, and the cost of chasing a dream.
Beautiful. Haunting. - Mack Velle, filmmaker, writer and producer (NYC)
Unflinching, visually arresting and painfully human. -Fritz Leonard Bücker, theatre director and producer (BER)
