WATERSKY   (5f, 2m, large chorus)

Watersky’ is set in the future, a distant future, a future that hopefully will never become a now. The story is set against the backdrop of a society where people have lost the ability to communicate. The cities are over crowded, polluted and disease-ridden. Constant noise and a frantic pace govern the life of the people. A strange group of people arrive: ‘The Raindancers’. They look human, but are they?

Style: non naturalistic musical theatre

Scene 1
Overture.
On screen: the Raindancer searching
Water-theme, a floating piece of music.
One can sense the presence of water. People travel. A young boy.
Rose on a swing, where she will remain for most of the play.

A girl's voice, singing
RACHEL:
The rain will stop.
The sun will come.
and I will be all on my own –
a shadow doesn‘t leave a spot.
The sun will come.
The rain will stop.
