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, sound journeys, 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,  battered suitcase holds fragments of identity, and administrative paperwork spawns its own surreal choreography. "The Waiting Room" blends diverse styles of clowning and physical theater traditions to create a deeply human exploration of migration, belonging, and bureaucratic purgatory.
