Based on the play Lungs by Duncan McMillan. Do you often think about the importance of considering climate change when planning a family?

"I could fly to New York and back every day for seven years... And I still wouldn't leave the carbon footprint that I leave after having a child." Two thousand tons of CO2. This is the weight of the Eiffel Tower. I will give birth to the Eiffel Tower." /from the play/

A couple is trying to make the most important decision in their lives - to have a child. They are educated, they sort waste and care about the world's problems. They care about the future of humanity. And suddenly their family issue becomes particularly complicated. If you think too much, you will never make up your mind. If you rush, it can become a disaster. Conceiving a child requires good reasons. But what reasons are appropriate? And which will be destroyed first, the world or the relationship? Director Agnija Leonova invites you to a performance based on the play "Lungs" by British playwright Duncan McMillan. In the drama, climate change, as a symbol of global catastrophe (or the Sword of Damocles), creates an unsettling environment for the couple's relationship, affecting them. The creators of the show raise the question - is the couple really looking for a solution, or are they running away from their relationship while considering the world? The show is especially suitable for couples who are looking for a meaningful and meaningful time.
