MANILA, Philippines – Louis Pearl, also known as The Amazing Bubble Man, makes his first ever visit to Manila at RCBC’s Carlos P. Romulo Theater from September 23 to 27 this year.
“Louis Pearl, The Amazing Bubble Man” has been thrilling audiences around the world for nearly 30 years with the art, magic, science and fun of bubbles. He has performed to more than 1 million people, including royalty and celebrities, in hundreds of cities around the world.
He is also a favorite at the world-famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where he returns this year for his eighth successive season.
From square bubbles, layers of bubbles inside bubbles, fog-filled bubbles, volcano bubbles to flying UFO bubbles and even people inside bubbles, The Amazing Bubble Man is set to enchant adults and children alike with his unique blend of skill and humor.
With infectious enthusiasm, The Amazing Bubble Man explains some fascinating facts about bubbles, bringing science to life and into the realm of fun. As well as exploring the dynamics of bubbles, The Amazing Bubble Man conjures shrieks of laughter and gasps of amazement from all ages.
This wondrous 75-minute show combines breathtaking artistry, colorful music, plenty of audience participation and enough spellbinding bubble tricks to keep all ages entranced.
Pearl says of his show, “The kid in everybody gets excited. The audience connects with what's happening onstage at a pre-verbal place. There's so much joy."
Producer James Cundall, chief executive of Lunchbox Theatrical Productions, says “I saw Louis Pearl’s Amazing Bubble Show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and was absolutely mesmerized. I had no idea you could do so many amazing things with bubbles!”
“I went to talk to Louis after his performance about touring internationally—I thought ‘if a producer with 25 years in the entertainment business can be blown away by bubbles then surely people all around the world will be amazed by this incredible show too.’”
Pearl was born in San Francisco and in 1980 started his own toy company, making among other things a big bubble-making toy, “The Bubble Trumpet”. To help sell the toy, he learned a few bubble tricks and soon he was performing at summer camps.
Encouraged by the response, Pearl developed a stage show and started touring around California before taking his show to a wider audience around the USA and overseas, becoming an established sell-out performer at the famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
He has written two books about bubbles, made a video called “Light, Camera, Bubbles” and produced many bubble inventions such as People-Inside of Bubbles, Square Bubbles, Spaceship Bubbles, Universe Bubbles, Centipede Bubbles, Edible Bubbles, Bubble Brains, Trampoline Bubbles, Trumpet Bubbles, William Tell Bubbles, Bubbles in Bubbles, Kids in Bubbles, Wearing Bubbles, Smoking Bubbles, Amazing Bubble Hat, Trapped in a Bubble, Juggling Bubbles, and Fog-filled Bubbles.
“Louis Pearl, The Amazing Bubble Man” is produced by Concertus Manila and Lunchbox Theatrical Productions in association with Louis Pearl.
