“Ten thousand tons of CO2. That’s the weight of the Eiffel Tower. I’d be giving birth to the Eiffel Tower.”
This humorous remark captures the tone of Lungs, Duncan Macmillan’s striking yet occasionally frustrating play. “Lungs changed my life. It made me realize that the scary part is not living my life and focusing on my day-to-day, but lacking awareness. I have more impact on the world surrounding me than I realize. And why can’t there be beauty in the immense impact we have on individuals, not just the impact we have on the world.” – Mac Welch, Director
