A limited-time entertainment act has popped up in EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion, and you only have a few more days to see it. We caught it during a walk through World Showcase this afternoon, where a large crowd had already gathered. The act has been running for the past week or two in place of a familiar performer. Here’s a look!
Limited-Time Acrobatic Balancing Act Arrives at EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion

A NEW ACT IS BALANCING ITS WAY THROUGH ITALY
This acrobatic chair-balancing act is currently being performed in the Italy Pavilion. Don’t search for it in the My Disney Experience app, though, because it’s nowhere to be found. It is a temporary replacement for Sergio, the pavilion’s regular performer.
We stopped to watch and snap a few photos this afternoon after spotting the crowd it pulled in. The performance has reportedly been running for the past week or two.
A LIMITED-TIME RUN
Sergio is set to return this Sunday. That means Saturday is your last chance to catch the unnamed chair-balancing act. If the act looks familiar, there is a reason. Longtime EPCOT fans will recognize the style from another corner of World Showcase.
THIS ISN’T EPCOT’S FIRST ACROBATIC ACT
Years ago, an entertainment act called Serveur Amusant performed in the France Pavilion. Last year, a version of that show returned to France for a limited time under the name Acrobatico!.
The Acrobatico! show ran multiple times per day, Sunday through Thursday, during the 2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Whether it returns for this year’s festival is still unclear.
A LOOK AT THE ITALY PAVILION ACT
For now, the chair-balancing act is the one to catch, and here’s a closer look at the version playing in Italy.
