Good people
The performance “Good People” is a two-person drama based on the text Lungs by Duncan MacMillan and inspired by The Relation Work Project (1976-80) by Duncan MacMillan and inspired by Marina Abramović and Ulay, produced by the Theatre “Zlaten Elec” – Skopje.
The performance is an intimate exploration of a romantic relationship, examining the challenges faced by couples in today’s world. It raises an apparently absurd, yet legitimate ecological and ethical question: is it justified to have children in a polluted world with massive amounts of carbon dioxide and serious existential problems such as ecological disasters, pandemics, and economic collapses?
“Good People” explores the emotional consequences of the climate crisis and the difficult decisions we must make as individuals and as a society. The characters live with anxiety and panic; their concern for the environment becomes surrogate activism, and passive care serves as proof of their goodness, raising the question of whether we can truly be good people in this world.
