Philly Theatre Week: TOTAL MODELING by Benoît François

Total Modeling is a clown show about cybernetics taking place on a boat. There's a blind man and an invisible man and a donkey and a bird. Part lecture, part throwdown, Total Modeling takes you on a philosophical odyssey that weaves together professional wrestling, despair, nakedness, invisibility, and buffoonery going blind while finding out where to go.

Benjamin Stieler (aka Benoît François) helps organize and perform at Philly Clown Slam, Studio 34's most popular monthly arts event. See more on Philly Clown Slam's Instagram page.
