David Somló: Listening Club - Living Room
‘45
David Somló’s series of events explores the boundaries of listening - at this time in his own living room. During this performance a live composition, utilizing simple elements and combining multichannel light and sound, will slowly unfold on the senses, creating an immersive, field recording-inspired environment that will envelop the listener. Thus, Listening Club will transcend the individual nature of those attending to create a collective experience.

Imre Vass: You know what I mean \ apartment / PREMIER
‘27
I know that you know that I am aware. We wink at each other, we are masters of reading between the lines. It's hard to surprise us anymore, so we're here without expectations. But we are secretly hoping that something (different) will happen this time! In this movement-based, improvisational dance solo, the continuous alternation of intentions, forms and meanings create waves that sometimes amplify and sometimes cancel each other out. A continuous game with perspectives, readings, expectations, location and situation. The practice of recognizing grandiose nuances and dancing out of context.
