The main theme of the opera is concern for climate change. It focuses especially on the relationship between reality and poetry, and the overlap between theater, music, and the visual arts.
Sun & Sea represented Lithuania at the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019, where it won the Golden Lion award for the Best National Participation.
