The world is getting worse. Are we still good enough?
Starting from the question “A baby?,” Lungs finds a couple—a PhD candidate and an indie musician—in a conversation about whether or not they should have a kid. They both have received higher education and done recycling, and they won’t even set foot in coffee chains because they care about the future of the planet. So, before bringing “it” into the world, they want to make sure if they are good enough to create another life in this overpopulated world while temperatures and sea levels are rising. Their conversations last for a lifetime, and the couple keeps pondering on how the next generation might survive the doomsday and, most importantly, how they themselves might survive the crisis of love.
Lungs, Duncan Macmillan’s most noted play, followed Every Brilliant Thing as the second localization project of 4 CHAIRS THEATRE. The two-hander was directed by Artistic Director Tora HSU and starred award-winning actors Bean SUN and Kuan-Ting LIU. Through the intense dialogues, 4 CHAIRS THEATRE aimed to present a simple yet moving love story where the audience could resonate with the life problems and deep anxiety in contemporary society that the two highly-educated, middle-class characters are also faced with in their 30s.
