"55 Square Meters," a text inspired by everyday life and the column of Jurica Pavičić, in a "slice of life" manner, follows a contemporary Split family during the summer months. Evicted from the apartment they were renting, Lena and Tino decide to spend the summer with Lena's parents, younger brother, and grandmother in a 55-square-meter apartment. In addition to the influx of tourists, the summer in the apartment is made more challenging by undrinkable water, a fire that dangerously approaches the city, and the stench of the garbage dump spreading throughout the city, especially when the southerly wind blows, metaphorically reflecting the city's relationship with its citizens.
The play critically examines inherited patterns of multi-generational coexistence and the mechanisms of Mediterranean society, where social policies are becoming increasingly unfavorable for individuals and families under the weight of capital.
