B
-The Underwater Bubble Show-
…or…
The Unexpected journey of Mr. B in the colourful underwater world of Bubblelandia
This is a story about each and everyone’s life.
We know…
We all know life can be gray or colourful…
Don’t worry! This time it is going to be very colourful !
After another long day, as always filled with things to do, meetings, deadlines to be met, Mr. B finds himself transported as if by magic in a special, colourful, happy place called Bubblelandia.
Bubblelandia is a place in which to linger, to dream, to listen, to watch, to savor, and to marvel but, above all a place to daydream.
And it is here, on this planet, it is inside us …
…it is the ocean of our soul.
For to find it you just need to wake up!
The “inhabitants” of Bubblelandia – seahorses, dragon fish, starfish, mermaids, clown fish and others – will carry Mr. B along his imaginary journey in this beautiful underwater world where fantasy becomes reality and you are invited to follow him.
But be careful!
You will not need an oxygen tank to breathe; just let your mind run wild, open your heart and relieve the everyday stress!
Suddenly millions of bubbles of all shapes and colours, along with the foam of waves and other surprises will immediately swallow and transport you into this parallel universe of joy and freedom.
Are you afraid of the touch of giant jellyfish or from the huge whale that will appear next to you? Don’t worry because Mr. B will take you by the hand through this imaginary journey and, in the end, you will feel lighter, freer, happier…
This experience will change you too just as it changed Mr. B…?
Storyline
The plot is very simple and based on our modern everyday life; always too busy, filled with stress increased by the abuse of mobile phones, tablet, PCs and other gadgets that allow us to make a faster connection…causing us to lose connection with reality.
Who doesn’t recognize himself in the stylized shape of our fictitious Mr B ?
How many of us have ever wanted, at least for a moment, to be able to stop time just to take a breath and daydream?
The solution, in fact, is simple and accessible to us all: don’t be afraid to let yourself go.
As the French poet Paul Valery wrote:
““The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.”
With some references and quotes from classics such as “Pinocchio”, “The Little Mermaid”, “Beauty and the Beast”, and “The Golden Fish” (without to forget “Peter Pan”), “B” is considered a modern fairy tale in which we can all find ourselves, without any age limits…
The Project
“B” the show was produced with the help and support of the biggest authorities in the field of entertainment and theatre in Latvia.
The well balanced blend of drama, mime, dance, puppetry, juggling, contortionism, sand art and magic, with the amazing beauty of soap bubbles make „B” unique and perfect for any audience.

The plot of the bubble show was inspired by such well-known fairy tales as "Alice in Wonderland", "The Little Mermaid" and "Peter Pan". However, unlike the world's most popular fairy tales, the creators of the Bubble Show decided to turn the story upside down.
"Children's stories are usually about a child who grows up and learns something. And we decided to tell about an adult character, Mr. B, who discovers that he can return to his childhood and enjoy life the way children enjoy it," says the show's director and co-creator Enrico Pezzoli.
"Mr. B is a perfect reflection of a modern person, so every adult will discover a part of himself. Mr. B has a million tasks, can't keep up with anything, and just wants a break from the constant rush. Suddenly, he accidentally discovers the colorful underwater world of Burbuliandia and embarks on a magical and adventurous journey where he meets all kinds of fish, sea horses, mermaids, starfish and other creatures," adds E. Pezzoli.
