Street Theatre: “Voice of the Forest"

 

 

Street Theatre Script: “Voice of the Forest”

Theme: Awareness about tribal life and their role in protecting nature
 Target Group: Class 7 students
 Duration: 6–8 minutes

Opening – Attention Grabber

(Students enter clapping, beating a small drum, or stamping rhythmically.)
 All together (chanting loudly):

“Listen, listen, dear people,
 The forest is crying, it’s not a fable!
 Trees are falling, rivers dry,
 Tribals shout – hear their cry!”

(Group freezes. One steps forward.)

Speaker 1:
 We are here not to entertain, but to awaken!

Speaker 2:
 We are here not to act, but to remind!

All together:

“Wake up, before it’s too late!
 Save our forest, save our fate!”

Scene 1 – Who Are the Tribals?

(Three students dressed as tribals come forward with baskets or sticks.)

Tribal 1:
 We are the sons and daughters of the forest.

Tribal 2:
 The trees are our friends, the rivers our mothers, the animals our neighbours.

Tribal 3:
 We take only what we need, never more.

Chorus (behind them, chanting):

“Live with nature, it's our future!
 Learn from tribals, they are nobles!”

Speaker 3 (addressing audience):
 Did you know that India has over 700 tribal communities?
 They protect our forests better than anyone else!

Scene 2 – Message of Awareness

Speaker 4:
 These so-called “simple people” are the real protectors of biodiversity.

Speaker 5:
 But we call them “backward”! We call them illiterate! We treat them as a burden. Isn’t that unfair?

Tribal 2:
 We know how to live without harming the Earth.
 Can you city people do the same?

Chorus (in rhythm, clapping):

“They live and let live,
They thrive and let thrive
 Learn their way, or we have to pay

Scene 3 – The Call to Action

Environmental Student:
 Tribals teach us harmony, sharing, and respect.
 We must protect their land and their rights.

All (raising fists):

“Respect the tribes,
 Protect their lives!
 Save the forest,
 Save our home!”

(Drumbeat; group repeats faster, louder.)

“Save the tribes! Save the trees!
 Save our Earth — if you please!”

Final Message

Speaker 1:
 Development is needed, yes — but not at the cost of destruction.

Speaker 2:
 When the last tree falls, the last river dries, the last tribal is displaced —
 We will realize, too late, that we can’t eat money!

All together (final chant):

“We are the voice of the forest,
 We are the sound of the Earth,
 Together we can make a change —
 A cleaner, greener rebirth!”


(End with rhythmic clapping or a short tribal dance step while chanting the slogan.)
