Underbelly
Step inside the magical dream land of the flying bubble show, where bubbles float, shimmer and transform…
Unlike many of the high energy and stimulating kids shows at the fringe, The Flying Bubble Show offers something gentler; a perfect option for children who may experience sensory overload or prefer a more soothing experience. It’s calm, visually enchanting, and quietly mesmerising. The performance takes its time to reveal the endless possibilities of bubbles: big bubbles, tiny bubbles, smoke bubbles, bubbles inside bubbles, and much more. The addition of the aerial flying element enhances the magic, and personally I enjoyed watching how Maxwell worked with his partner to move seamlessly around the stage in his harness, as much as I did the bubbles themselves.
My 7-year-old was transfixed throughout, despite it not having the same ‘high energy’ we experienced in most other shows. Sometimes, it’s enough to slow down, look closer, and be carried away by the quiet beauty of bubbles.
My mini reviewer said : “my favourite part was when Maxwell put baby bubbles inside a big bubble and then popped it so the babies could be free”
