The plot is very simple and based on our modern everyday life; always too busy, filled with stress increased by abuse of mobile phones, tablets, PCs, and other gadgets that allow us to make a faster connection...causing us to lose connection with reality.
“One day, after a lot of stress, phone calls, meeting planning and job problems, Mr. B finds, as if by magic, a fishbowl inside his case. He starts to stare in amazement inside the bowl, as if looking inside a sorcerer's crystal ball and, suddenly finds himself transported in a colorful and happy underwater world. While being involved in this joyful path he discovers again that it is possible to smile and to enjoy life, leaving all stress and fears behind and, at the end of his journey, he finds himself transformed as well into a colorful and happy creature.”
Who doesn’t recognize himself in the stylized shape of our fictitious Mr. B? How many of us 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 (not to mention Peter Pan), “B” is considered a modern fairy tale in which we can all find ourselves, without any age limits.
“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 visual impact of the show is further enhanced by the original music of Valdis Zilveris (the most famous Latvian composer of soundtracks for theatre plays), the costumes specially designed by E. Patmalniece (popular fashion designer and main costume designer of the Latvian National Opera) and the artistic makeup created by Mārīte Gaidele (main make-up artist of the LNT Latvian Television).
Inspired by the famous Canadian troupe Cirque du Soleil, the show is rich in various stage effects using the latest laser technologies, snow cannons, soap bubble tornadoes, theatrical fog, gigantic smoke rings, smoke-filled soap bubble machines, optical illusions, and many other surprises.
All the performance is enriched by a live video shooting connected to a large LED screen (35 sq. meters – 380 sq. Feet) that acts as a background and allows for better visibility even in the largest of auditoriums (“B” has been performed in theatres with over 3000 seats).
Adults and children alike will enjoy the show, thanks to the high interactivity and audience participation, the extremely visual content (there are no spoken words as all the show is musical) and the different level of interpretations that will make adults think and children smile.
Produced by “Brinum-X” (a Latvian company with over 20 years of experience in the entertainment business and with vast experience all around the world), and directed by Italian theatre director, actor and bubble artist Enrico Pezzoli with the cooperation of performer and bubble artist Dace Pecoli, “B” is the first bubble show that gives a meaning and new dimension to the art of soap bubbles, bringing it to an unsurpassed level, and it is going to be one of the most exciting shows that the audience will ever witness.
