solo performance
Unaccompanied stage act
A solo performance is an artistic presentation by a single person—one actor on stage, one musician in concert, one dancer in the spotlight.
The term emphasizes that the performer works without partners or ensemble support: Her solo performance of the Goldberg Variations lasted nearly an hour.
In theater, a solo performance often means a one-person show where the performer may inhabit multiple characters.
