“I see the future”

Fantasy Castle in the Sky

This show had it all.
A cast of thousands.
A three-ring circus with gorillas, clowns, trapeze artists, acrobats, strongmen, sword swallowers, a lion, a lion tamer and miniature ponies.
A trip to the zoo, with a tiger, ducks, monkeys, penguins, elephants, rabbits, deer and snakes.
And lots of food.

But where are the zebras? The zebras are missing. They must be found.

A celestial castle with imperious queens, spoiled princesses, jaded princes, sleepy kings and… auditioning robots.
The robots cannot compute fun and feeling. The magical color people must come to the rescue. And they do and all ends happily ever after.

The children of the lower school created this magical story from the richness of their imagination and it all began here.
