But those who wanted to watch The Tree were 14 to hand in their cell phones before performances. When the show began they sat 15 one another quietly, professionals and 16 alike, not knowing what the evening would bring.
What was gradually 17 were various stories with a tree at their center. The performance immersed its audience in an overwhelming auditory(听觉的) and 18 head trip, or, 19 one viewer commented on the 20 site Douban, “the best nightmare I have ever had”.
