The Underwater Bubble Show or The Unexpected Journey of Mr. B in
the Colorful Underwater World of Bubblelandia!
This show was created to tour the world for adults and children without
barriers, especially language. Inspired by Cirque du Soleil, the show is rich in
many elements of theater that work without speech including mime, puppetry,
physical comedy, sand painting, and state-of-the-art special effects.
Kindled from childhood classics like Alice in Wonderland, The Little Mermaid,
and Peter Pan, this show is a modern fairy tale with one major twist: each
classic tale represents the journey of a child who grows up and learns
something.
Mr. B is an average office worker who feels pressed by a thousand things
to do in a world that seems too fast. When he discovers a little aquarium
that appears like magic inside his briefcase, he becomes enchanted by the
wondrous underwater world full of seahorses, dragon fish, starfish, mermaids,
and lots of bubbles! It is a mystical place where he can sit back, relax,
daydream, and enjoy life while experiencing a juggler in a huge plastic ball
and dancers and acrobats playing as small colorful fish. Mr. B is performed by
a skillful mime exaggerating his transformation from stressed out worker to
blissed out wonder.
The latest laser technologies, massive LED screens, snow cannons, soap
bubble tornadoes, theatrical fog, gigantic smoke rings, smoke-filled soap
bubble machines, optical illusions, and many other surprises enrich the show.
These elements make for a truly immersive underwater show. Add to that
technology the work of Enrico Pezzoli and Dace Pecoli, two of the foremost
bubble artists in the world. The pair have collaborated on countless projects
since joining forces in 1998, including the opening ceremonies of the 2014
Olympics in Sochi.
This show takes place at the Mark C Smith Concert Hall at the Von Braun Center. Tickets are general admission
