Visual delight for kids

This is one piece of news that is sure to bring smiles to the faces of children. For the first time, the well-known Singapore-based theatre group Rainbow Fish will perform at the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) auditorium in the Capital on September 28 and 29.

Based on the internationally acclaimed award-winning children's book "Rainbow Fish" written by Marcus Pfister, the theatre group aims to create awareness about ocean life. The well-loved children's classic will get transformed into a colourful visual delight with marvellous costumes and catchy tunes. The colourful underwater world will come alive through ultraviolet light techniques.

The theatre group has been staging plays for the past five years to packed houses in Singapore. Like Disney, there will be something for everyone - a fun-loving, lively story with colourful characters for the young ones and an interactive, funny script for their parents as well. The children will also get a chance to interact with the characters.
