I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles- the magic of Bubble on Circus /Bubble On Circus

Clear delicate bubbles, bubbles full of magic and bubbles full of dreams float across the blue autumn sky of Shizuoka's Daidogei festival...
Welcome to the world of Bubble On Circus! The husband and wife team of Mariano Guz and Egle Sciarappa (Italy/France) are experts in crafting
bubbles that bring smiles and wonder to their audience. In fact, seeing these happy faces is what inspires Bubble On Circus in their work- they love to see people happy and enjoying their performance.
For the artists, each show is very different, presenting them with various challenges. During street performances, weather can affect the delicate
nature of the bubbles, but even the slightest breeze can help Mariano and Egle to create something fantastic. A certain amount of chemistry is necessary in preparation too. For example, the different composition of the water in Japan also affects how the bubbles will form, so Mariano has little time to experiment with his formula before the Daidogei, whilst in Japan.
Bubble On Circus have been street performers for twenty years. Mariano joined the circus, when he was fifteen and is self-taught, whilst Egle trained
at circus school and in physical theatre in Spain and the Netherlands. Together they combine their experience and talent to bring magic, poetry, illusion
and dreams to their audience.Their message for the audience is "Don't forget to dream. Dreams can be real!!".
