“This show is very visual and family friendly. It captures the attention of even the very young. They are enamored.”- George Casper

 

The Brinum-X Entertainment Company describes the show as “Cirque du Soleil meets Giant Bubbles!” “B- The Underwater Bubble Show” is completely wordless, but not just haphazard entertainment. It is a musical full of original music, costumes, choreography, optical illusions, laser lights, and video mapping and follows a storyline. Mr. B, a stressed-out, technology-dependent man who has lost his ability to dream, is unexpectedly transported to Bubblelandia where he encounters mythical and fantastic creatures and entertainment: mimes, music, jugglers, puppetry, sand art, contortionism, bubble magic, dance, and drama.

 

The history of such traveling entertainment shows as “B-The Underwater Bubble Show” is an ancient art. According to a National Geographic article, paintings of acrobats adorn the tombs of ancient Egypt. The Circus Maximus attests to the existence of circus-type entertainment (if not much more bloody in style) in Ancient Rome. Medieval courts were full of jesters, troubadours, minstrels, and magicians.

 

The Brinum-X Entertainment Company has found a way to combine masters of these ancient arts with modern technology in such a unique way that the world is beginning to take notice. Since the opening of “B-The Underwater Bubble Show” in 2011, the company is on its third US tour and has performed in Canada, Qatar, Taiwan, Indonesia, UK, Lebanon, Turkey, Germany, Greece, Columbia, Hungary, Algeria, Russia, China, and Istanbul.

 

 

“Brinum” is the translation of “Wonder” in Latvian. The X at the end is supposed to connote mystery. BRINUM-X has been working professionally in magic & entertainment since 1991. They have appeared in numerous Latvian television programs, such as the 2003 Latvian Big Brother edition, and in theatre festivals in France, Italy and the Baltic countries, including The Festival of Avignon, Aurillac Street Theatre Festival, and Riga’s 800 years Festival Celebration. In October 2002, they served as special effects consultants with bubbles and giant soap bubbles for a video shoot with the popular Russian rock group “Mumjy Trolls.” In December 2003, in Istanbul, the group took part in a television program about magic and illusion with magicians from all over the world (“Hokus Pokus,” ATV channel, Turkey).
