The very last show of the Bahrain Summer Festival takes place this weekend.
World-renowned bubble artists Marco and Rolanda will present their popular ‘Bubbles Revolution’ show on July 29, 30 and 31.
So far, the duo has presented the show in four continents and 60 countries, receiving the applause of millions from New York, Beijing, Paris, to Dubai and beyond.
The show will take audiences to a magical world ruled by soap bubbles, a fantastic dimension where everything is possible and imagination has no limits.
Audiences can enjoy two showcases, one at 5pm and another at 8pm, on all three days at the Cultural Hall in Manama.
A number of interactive educational workshops have also been planned over the course of the same three days as part of the festival.
