Nataniël performs again at Emperors Palace

Rainbow at Midnight is, according to Nataniël, the most advanced project of his career.

This will be seen at Emperors Palace in the newly improved Theatre of Marcellus from August 21 to September 28.

It is about the incident in 1965 when 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.

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.

The story is told – in true Nataniël-style – with original music, stories in both English and Afrikaans and breathtaking designs by Floris Louw that jump from the present to the past. Since Nataniël has combined strength with singers, Corlea, Lindiwe Bungane, Nicolaas Swart, acrobat Brad Dreyer and 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,

They have already created two more stage productions plus a brand new CD, called Moodswing.

Nataniël describes this past year as one of the best creative periods in his life with one of the strongest companies of his career. “These performers complete my vision; I would not change a thing!

“Rainbow at Midnight is technically the most advanced project of my career and I am attempting it with the best artists I know,” comments Nataniël.
