The soap bubble artists

Who would have thought that you could turn blowing bubbles into nothing short of a theatrical performance? Walking around the charming squares and alleyways of Prague, do not be surprised if you run into a gigantic bubble and get drenched in its soapy, watery aftermath. Right from Charles Bridge to The Old Town Square, bubble artists are no rarity in the City of a Hundred Spires. Adept at what they do, these street artists play with bemused onlookers while blowing massive bubbles out of equally humongous rings. From huge circles to slightly distorted squares and rectangles, these rainbow-y air pockets come in a plethora of shapes and sizes and make for beautiful pictures.
The biggest fans of soap bubble artists, undoubtedly, are children and the swarm of kids circling them is proof of that fact. Making their childhood dreams come true, the performers send out bubbles, both big and small, for these little ones to burst and they gladly chase after the same, trying to pop as many as they can. While some parents watch from a distance, relieved to have some time away from their overexcited child, others turn into kids themselves, running after these globules. Bursting a bubble, quite literally, couldn’t have been more fun. Putting in a Czech Koruna into the dish right in front of the artist’s gear is the right thing to do, if not imperative.
