Dreaming Bubbles

A visual show for children and adults in which Whitedream and dancer Gessica Alfieri create and manipulate soap bubbles at the Teatro Fígaro in Madrid.

Dreaming Bubbles is a visual show centred on the creation and manipulation of soap bubbles. Pierpaolo Laconi, who performs under the name Whitedream, is a bubble artist and professional actor, and shares the staging with dancer Gessica Alfieri.

The title has two readings. On the one hand, the character of Whitedream makes what is seen on stage happen thanks to his dreams and imagination. On the other, the soap bubble, with its beauty and its fragility, represents the capacity to keep dreaming despite adversity. The performance combines the structure of iridescent bubbles with various tricks and a soundtrack designed specifically for the show. It lasts 80 minutes and is aimed at both the youngest children and adults, whom it seeks to restore to a childlike wonder at these spheres.

In 2022, Laconi received a Guinness World Record award for the largest hand-blown bubble, and he has more than thirty theatrical productions to his name. The Teatro Fígaro in Madrid hosts the production.
