“1 m by 2”
This performance is about two people.
Being confined to one square meter, they try not to lose their dreams or each other.
But their dreams pull them outside the square, while the fear of losing each other keeps them inside.

Director: Arthur Nazaretyan
Duration: 15 minutes
“Why am i here”
We each go through our own, individual path with our experiences, joys, and challenges. Though there are loved ones beside us, they can never fully understand us. Our inner journey remains only for us. To some extent, we are all alone in our path, as our inner feelings and thoughts are fully understandable only to ourselves.
Director, dancer – Margarita Sargsyan

The presented work project is about vulnerability, where two characters represent friendship, warmth, and love, and then one friend betrays the other, stabbing them in the back and leaving a scar on their skin. This often happens unexpectedly in all of our lives.
