At the webpage of Teatret Vårt (Our Theatre) the following, among other things, is written about Lungs:

"She and he are both in their late twenties. They are in love, have just moved in together, and are shopping at IKEA. They read newspapers and look at each other. They are bright, and want to do what is right. 'We are good people', they say to each other. Should they go for a future together? Have children together?

Earth is populated by more than seven billion people, each second the number increases with 2,6 persons, and soon we will be 10 billion. The needs for food and pure drinking water keep increasing, as does use of energy. There is less room. Global warming, extreme weather and natural disasters can daily be seen on TV. How could one add children to such a world?

As they discuss, the clock is ticking. The big question is: What will go under first? The relationship between the two, or the planet?"
