After the runaway success of last year\u2019s Factory production, Natani\u00ebl will return to the newly improved Theatre of Marcellus, at Emperors Palace, from August 21 to September 28, with a brand new creation, Rainbow at Midnight.<\/p>\n
In 1965 one of the descendants of what was secretly called The Victims of the Rainbow discovers a diary that tells the tale of what happened one night in 1880, when a group of visitors to the rainbow travelling fair had a supernatural experience that would change their lives and the lives of their children forever.<\/p>
The story is told – in true Natani\u00ebl-style – with original music, stories (in both English and Afrikaans) and breathtaking designs by Floris Louw that jump from the present to the past.<\/p>\n
Since Natani\u00ebl has combined strength with singers Corlea, Lindiwe Bungane, Nicolaas Swart, acrobat Brad Dreyer and his resident band, consisting of Charl du Plessis (keyboards), Juan Oosthuizen (guitars), Werner Spies (bass), Hugo Radyn (drums) and Tonia Selley (percussion and vocals), the company has turned (in true Victorian-style) into a performing troupe, creating two more stage productions, plus a brand new CD, Moodswing.<\/p>
Natani\u00ebl describes this past year as one of the best creative periods in his life, with one of the strongest companies of his career.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese performers complete my vision; I would not change a thing,”he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cRainbow at Midnight is technically the most advanced project of my career and I am attempting it with the best artists I know.\u201d<\/p>\n
