The Vision
A FANTASY MUSICAL ADVENTURE
Why “ THE RAINBOW’S CHILD”?
We are currently participating in and witnessing a critical phase in global ecological history.
THE RAINBOW’S CHILD – Creator’s eco-fantasy philosophy
The children of today and tomorrow will be the guardians of planet Earth and ethical guardians of the human race during this century and the next. Peaceful and constructive co-existence on planet Earth will demand discipline, self-sacrifice and people skills. Environmental mismanagement has caused dangerous levels of pollution and ozone depletion, amongst other hazards which threaten our lives.
Man has become the endangered species, and will face extinction unless appropriate routes are found with which to address the problems facing us.

Writer Zakes Mda, of the Market has said: “this is a musical about what happens after we kill the Earth”.
OBJECTIVE
Entertainment provides the key to teaching young people effectively. Human children of all ages like to play, experiment imitate others, laugh at their foibles, sing songs and rhyme rhymes.
More readily than information, dates and diagrams, we value our human experiences and the people who really “fed” our imaginations, our hopes and dreams, and what touches us deeply.
Songs and music introduce and endorse the characters and their journeys, struggles, relationships and triumphs. Fantasy animal characters, a wish, and several human characters including villains carry the storyline.
Script, musical score and sound effects include a combination of live instrumentation and electronic media.
