Performance for young monks of Tergar School, Kathmandu | July 25, 2025

About the Story

The Rainbow Fish meets the black & white fish from the Himalayas in a pond full of colors. They go on a journey to find colors for the black & white fish who travels in air, water, mountain and space. After an engaging experience of travelling, they discover that the colors they actually wanted were already within them. They exchange their colors, accept their differences and share a sensorial immersive experience with their audience.
