The performance
Michele Cafaggi, Italy’s finest Bubble Magician, brings his delightful show The little rain man to Thessaloniki. Cafaggi’s work is a marvelous blend of classical Italian clowning and bubbles….. a cacophony of soap and silliness.
Omino, is haunted by bad weather. It rains even inside his house! However, he soon discovers that each object can be used to create bubbles and magical surprises.
But what happens? The house is filled with bubbles of all sizes, tiny and huge, frothy and transparent as crystal. Meanwhile, the rain stops falling. And soon the snow will fall as well. Achoo!
A magical show.... for children and adults, a must-see for all!
