Danny and Pepijn Ronaldo, father and son, together on stage. Through their shared love for music and gimmicks, they build a bridge between similarities and differences. The father seems entrenched in his past, desperately searching for an ancient but faded sense of ecstasy. The son seeks reconciliation between the old circus his father created and the world beyond.

The roots of Circus Ronaldo stretch back far into the past, with Danny and Pepijn as the sixth and seventh generations. With seven as a sacred number, they now pay tribute to this past: 'Sono io?' ('Is that me?).
