B – The Underwater Bubble Show (Family Series)

B – The Underwater Bubble Show

Inspired by childhood standards like Alice in Wonderland, The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan, B-The Underwater Bubble Show is a modern fairy tale with one major twist. “Each classic tale represents a journey of a child who grows up and learns something,” explains co-creator and director Enrico Pezzoli. ”We wanted a story about an adult character who discovers that he can still go back and enjoy life. We don’t always need to grow up.  Sometimes we need to step backwards for a bit and restart."

The show follows Mr. B, a creature of modern habits who “always feels pressed by a thousand things to do in a world that seems to be moving too fast."  The office worker discovers a little aquarium that appears like magic inside his briefcase and gradually becomes enchanted by the wondrous underwater world of Bubblelandia, which is full of seahorses, dragon fish, starfish, mermaids and other creatures.  “Mr. B represents each of us,” Pezzoli notes.  “His transformation is a journey which each of us could take 'only if'...everyone dreams about the possibilities of taking a break to sit, relax and simply daydream.”

Taking cues from Cirque du Soleil, the visually spectacular show incorporates the latest in stage technology.  Lasers, low ground smoke and flying foam simulate waves and the underwater atmosphere.

A juggler in a huge plastic ball is the performer that immediately attracts Mr. B and the audience into Bubblelandia‘s wondrous world, while dancers and acrobats serve as “small colorful fish chasing Mr. B and each other inside the aquarium.  The main character is played by a skillful actor/mime exaggerating his gradual transformation from stressed out modernity to blissed out wonder.  However, the biggest attraction of the show is the spectacular use of soap bubbles in multiple artistic ways.  Creators Pezzoli and bubble artist/spouse, Dace Pecoli have toured the world as a duo act for more than twenty years working with the form, including a performance at the Sochi Olympics.  "l have directed other big performances in the past, but “B” was our first independent big production," Pezzoli explains.
