While several music acts came back to EPCOT yesterday, over at the Italy Pavilion, the silence was golden.

Sergio the Italian Mime returned to the park on Friday, sharing his unique juggling and comedy skills with guests.

As the ten-minute show kicks off, Sergio lays out a rope to mark out his “stage,” blowing a whistle in time with the music.

During the show, he encourages audience participation, particularly from children.

As we previously mentioned, Sergio is also a skilled juggler, and quite adept at balancing a ladle on his head. (It goes nicely with the chef’s hat.)

Many props are used in the performance, including these yellow balls. At this point, a child is selected to help catch these balls, which have previously been thrown into the crowd.
