"Saturday begins with the performance of the Hungarian performer Rita Gobi "Two Square Meters" (2m²). The play delves into the theme of loneliness and isolation among the elderly. In a small space defined by a frame of laths, a series of touching, comical, and unexpected situations unfold. The young petite dancer is unrecognizable, with almost her entire face covered by a mask, complemented by glasses and a gray wig. She expresses herself without words, primarily through graceful hand movements. The miniature stage is equipped with a wheeled chair and a small table, but it also features an array of inventive devices, such as a bottomless glass or a rapidly growing flower. The elderly lady grapples with her mobile phone, her forgetfulness, constantly searching her apron pockets, and occasionally revisiting her microsecond dance career. It is a poignant and simultaneously imaginative and entertaining solo creation." - Michaela Svobodová
