The Rainbow Bridge Project in Thailand

Last updated  : 22/12/46 21:11:38 +0700

Theater "Niji" (means "Rainbow" in Japanese) is a drama group organized by the International Christian University students in Tokyo (established in May 2001) in order to play musical as a tool of various interactions such as community, cross-age and international interaction. Since then, they have been performing musicals at the neighbor kindergartens and day-care centers without compensation, as we call 'Musical in DELIVERY'.

As "Rainbow Bridge Project", we deliver our musicals not only in Japan but also to the overseas. As our first step, we perform our original musical "Rainbow Dream" here, in Thailand. We hope that this musical and activity connect country to country, mind to mind, like the beautiful rainbow bridge and become the first small step of world peace.

King was too weak to decide, so he entrusted all to Kohaku. In the village, Shion became friends with human children. But　children didn’t know that he is a fairy. After playing, they went back home for the lunch, but Akane still continued the practice of harmonica. Then Kohaku arrived…
