Clown Pic Soap Bubble Artist Circus Roncalli circa 1981

PIC's website is www.pic.ch
While he is well known around the world for doing many kinds of performance, it was during his tour with Circus Roncalli when PIC created what many feel is his signature act.
His use of soap bubbles to advance a character with an unfolding story was
a first I think. Really a
sensation at the time.
He still is today, as you'll read at the end of the video.
Yes, this is the best quality I could coax from old footage from an old program.
I hope you enjoy it anyway.

I saw this when I was four or five years old. It always staid with me, the wonder, the joy and sheer delight; it was truly poetic.

Clown Pic! I just saw him in a Roncalli documentary. I loooved Clown Pic and his soap bubbles as a kid. He crawled out of a blue sphere with silver stars on it. Awww good old 80s stuff.

Eén van de beste 'clown' nummers ooit. Heb Pic enige malen gezien, maar dit verveelt nooit!

[@shewhospeaksall]

Thank you so much! I saw this as a kid, and indeed never forgot it. I couldn't believe my eyes to find it here - a miracle worthy of this special act!

[@barbaraluzi5246]

Ich habe es auch als Jugendliche gesehen und es hat sich mir tief ins Herz eingebrannt.

Ich hab ihn mal gesehen, als ich noch klein war und fand es total schön. Daran erinnere ich mich heute, über dreissig Jahre später noch. :)
