Today we were assigned to change the position of the class’ furniture. This was amazing because while we were organizing everything I saw this like a play. It was a training to teach us how to set a play. It was very useful because we saw the importance of things. Today I learned that every object has a meaning. I’d realise how difficult is to place the scenery and props for a play.

We also, in class, did sculptures. Mr. Robertoouu prepared an special task. buajajaja. We were divided in two groups and we were allowed just to use four chairs, two cubes and one bench. It was very interesting because we had to open our minds and start to imagine. We had to put meaning to every object and in general for the sculpture.

What we were trying to demonstrate was how the civilization destroys nature. We represented nature with four green chairs altogether. They were representing the lower part of a tree and on top we putted the two black cubes in some geometrical positions. These cubes represented the civilization. It was on top of the “tree” because we are destroying the nature.

On top of the cubes, we put the green bench. It is like a crown representing nature that the civilization wears. For example; we sometimes take some flowers from our garden and put them on our house like decoration but the flowers are dead and we are destroying our own nature. That´s why it has a crown, for decoration, but it is actually destroying nature at the same time.

Do we really need to look after every object in a play? Do they have really a meaning?
