Zašto Ih Nije Briga / Why Don’t They Care About Earth
A stage play following the escape of five animals from an ever-melting North Pole. A polar fox, a seal, a polar bear, a reindeer, and a penguin are driven from their land as it disappears in front of their eyes. Together, they head south in search of a paradise for animals. On their journey, this unusual group of refugees encounters an island of garbage, an oil spill in the sea, acid rain falling from the skies, greenhouse gases and smog filling the air, nuclear explosions, monstruous shopping malls, and something called a zoo. Naive, wounded, brave, and wacky, the animals go through a real odyssey on their very own Noah's Ark in their search for No Man's Land.
