English term or phrase: one-man show
Is it correct if I translate one-man show as isang taong palabas because it sounds awkward.... Or I can just leave it as it is?
The sentence is: After having his first one-man show in New York in 1926, Calder traveled to Paris, France, which was then the art capital of the world.

Tagalog translation:one-man show
Explanation:
In the given context, "one-man show" is readily understood by the target audience (art followers) in its original source English form.

If you want to "force" a translation, you could perhaps use "solong pagtatanghal" but this loosely translates as "solo performance" which does not completely capture the original art-related meaning.
