About

Welcome in the blog about (and around) the artistic project of Benjamin Franklin, born Benjamin Francart.

Playing music since 1996, Benjamin has developed his universe and his fantasies in solo and in multiple collaborations: with Buffle at the beginning, than as Benjamin Franklin (solo), and with Gangalai & Gourabai, Berger Louve, Historiaens, vs Quentin Nicolaï, R.O.T. …

Benjamin also specialized in musical support for theatre (pieces of director Clément Laloy), dance (pieces of Playsure Company) and cinema. Actually, he´s regulary playing music as resource and support for ALMA, a transdiciplinary program based on movement founded and guided by Sandra Vincent.

More recently, thanks to ALMA, he has now discovered the joy of performing in movement and words.

So please see below some videos and check the AGENDA for gigs and more. Leave also a message here below for BOOKING one of this.
