The young couple discusses the pollution of the environment and the climate change caused by daily activities of the people by identifying themselves as “good people” and finding justifications of their non-involvement. However, out of the heroes' living space, which is a bright yellow rectangle, they throw unnecessary items and garbage to the “outer world”, thus not realizing the way many people do behave.

 

The stage decoration includes dozens of recycled plastic fish. The unused plastic bags and bottles were gathered from gardens and public areas in Yerevan and were given the second life – in the form of a fish. The source of inspiration for such visual work and solution was the whale with 40 kilos of plastic trash in its stomach that was washed ashore in the Philippines several years ago. The purpose of such approach was to draw the audience's attention to the large amount of garbage around us and to spread the ideology of giving "second life" to used items.

 

The performance is based on the play "Lungs" by world-renowned British playwright and director Duncan Macmillan, which was translated into Armenian and adapted to the Armenian reality.
