The Bulletproof Balloons
The Bulletproof Balloons are a humanitarian artist duo consisting of Chic, a magician from Scotland, and Martin, a musician and circus artist from Denmark. Since 2018 they have traveled to conflict zones, to bring unforgettable shows to children whose lives have been shattered by the wars of adults.
Every child deserves to have fun and wonder while growing up, therefor we specifically aim to reach those children who are living in the most deprived conditions. We have brought our show to thousands of children living in poor refugee tent camps as well as many orphanages. We focus primarily on the Middle-East in countries like Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Turkey.
"... you took Syrian children to different lands. You made the children smile. War children have never seen people like you; you reminded them of happiness and smiles." - Serkan Öktem, Syria Relief Coordinator from IHH
The impact our show can have on a cut-off and abandoned community cannot be understated. The parents get to watch their children experience a day of happiness and laughter. And the children get to see magic and circus acts and hear a guitar played live for the first time in their lives.
"Chic and Martin are needed in the humanitarian field. The magic and music they bring soothes the children and lifts the spirit of whole communities, as well as other humanitarian workers. They remind us of why we should help each other as human beings." - Don Mcphee, country director at War Child, Lebanon
The Bulletproof Balloons work independently. However we often collaborate with NGOs, to attain access to the children who need our show the most. If you have cause to contact us, feel free to reach us on WhatsApp, simple as that.
