HISTORY PHASE 3
ELECTRONIC EPISODES
Derived stories from The Rainbow’s Child have been developed in seven short pilot electronic episodes, created in association with Realtime Pictures in Linden, Johannesburg. Three puppet characters are featured in “black theatre” sets constructed from 80% recycled materials, designed by Alexandra Wiid and constructed by Ronel Wheeler.
These derived serial stories take place on earth in the future, after humans have left the planet, having destroyed the environment. Over time, fragile nature begins to recover. The fantasy animal characters have been adversely affected by radiation from atomic fallout. They are some of the only creatures left on earth.
