As the lights were dimmed, Somló started to play a looped melody on his bass guitar while Vass jumped to his rhythm. With this gesture, they illustrated how repetition too is a form of change. Much like a dancer in training, the simple jump was never executed in quite the same way.

The performance ‘it comes it goes’ was part of the Hungarian Contemporary Dance Festival, taking place this week at Povvera and Dock 11 in Berlin.
