The Ocean

As audiences prepare for a fishy adventure, the sounds of the deep ocean swirl around them. Bubbles float to the surface as the song of creatures deep in the ocean reverberates across the stage.

The Octopus

Rainbow Fish travels past the reef to find a mentor who can show him the path to the admiration he once knew. Past a forest of kelp, he finds a rocky outcropping inhabited by a sage known as Octopus. Her voice echoes off the cave walls as her camouflage leaves her undetectable to Rainbow Fish.
