On Dec.16th, 2011 International Student Cultural Festival was held at 6 p.m. in Tongji University. The students from IESD class performed a drama called Tree of Life which has won universal appraises.
Tree of Life advocated the importance of environmental protection and conveyed the concept of environmental-friendliness to the audience. The drama started with a poor family protecting their apple tree, the only source of their livelihood, which were later attacked by the representatives of big corporations. A group of hippies joined them on stage; a fighting scene ensued, but was soon resolved by a peaceful messenger. He provided a reflection on the current situation and conveyed the concept that we have only one Earth, urging all of us to protect her.
As students of environmental science background, we made the apple tree with the used KT board and posters, which made the whole stage environmental friendly.
