Initially, a young modern couple in the queue at Ikea and a question: can we, should we, do we want to bring a child into this chaotic world? Then, a series of questions and debates: parenthood, ecology, our responsibility in this world, the couple's relationship once they have become parents, the changing female body...
Lungs is a dramedy whose subject resonates in the intimacy of all lovers: to have or not to have a child? It propels us into the depths of the shared history of two people, where reason and feelings, eco-anxiety and the desire for parenthood contend. Portrait of an imperfect love in an imperfect world.
The show Lungs is Anne-Pascale Clairembourg's first directing effort. Following its success in January 2025 at the Blocry Theater, the British play returns to us this season, ahead of a tour in Wallonia!
