Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia’s brand new show, "The Rainbow Fish", includes an original stage adaptation of Marcus Pfister’s colourful story as well two of the author’s companion tales, "Rainbow Fish Discovers the Deep Sea" and "Opposites." It will celebrate its Nova Scotia premiere at MIPAC today!
"The Rainbow Fish" tells the story of the most beautiful fish in the sea, whose scales shimmer in all the colours of the rainbow. "Rainbow Fish Discovers the Deep Sea" highlights further adventures, and "Opposites" uses striking images from Rainbow Fish’s underwater wonderland to introduce very young children to the concept of opposites. As a fitting finale, and story ends with the most satisfying opposite of all—give and take—as Rainbow Fish shares one of his shining scales with a friend.
The program runs under one hour, including a Q&A session with the performers after the show.
NOTE: Children under two (2) years are permitted to attend performances specifically for young audiences and may attend at no cost if they are to be seated in the lap of another patron and do not require their own seat. Children aged 2 and over require a ticket and seating assignment, even if they will not be using their seat (sitting on the lap of another patron).
