Children of Eden is frank, heartfelt examination of humanity and its complications. The first act of the show captures the beginning of creation, focusing on Adam and Eve and their sons Cain and Abel. The act begins in darkness. The chorus of the storytellers describes the beginning of the world when Fathers created the Heavens. He creates Adam and Eve and gives them Garden of Eden to live in. Father forbids them to eat from the tree of knowledge but Eve is enchanted by the tree and tricks Adam too to eat the forbidden fruit. Father exiles Adam and Eve and as the time passes they desolate new environment. They have two sons, Cain and Abel. To find his own destiny, Cain leaves Adam and Eve, kills Able when he tries to stop him and storms off. Time passes by and Eve has a third son, Seth. She gathers her grandchildren together and they dream of the day when they will return to their true home paradise, in the song “Children of Eden”.
The second act focuses on Noah's family and its struggle, a thousand years after first act. The storytellers sing “Generations” which traces the line of Adam to Noah and his three sons; Shem, Ham and Japheth. Noah is building the ark quickly so that he can escape the flood that will destroy the line of Cain. His elder son, Japheth announces to marry Yonah, a servant girl who bears the mark of Cain. Noah disproves her but Japheth hides Yonah in the ark. The flood begins, more and more rain comes down. When the family finds out about Yonah, a fight is initiated and Noah realizes that he has to let humanity choose its own destiny in the song, “The Hardest Part of Love”.
