ABOUT ABOUT

Presented by Danielle Levsky as part of 2025 Philly Theatre Week!

In "The Waiting Room," Toska the Clown navigates an absurdist bureaucratic landscape where every form leads to another form, and every window remains stubbornly closed. As the waiting stretches on, ordinary objects transform into portals of memory and connection. Through physical comedy, poetic object manipulation, and audience interaction, this 50-minute solo performance explores how we carry home within us. Watch as a municipal waiting room becomes a living map of displacement, where a battered suitcase holds fragments of identity, and administrative paperwork spawns its own surreal choreography. "The Waiting Room" blends European clowning traditions with contemporary physical theater to create a deeply human exploration of migration, belonging, and the unexpected poetry of bureaucratic purgatory.
