Inside the Cultural Center we find two sculptures, two reliefs. The bodies are reduced to geometrically modernist forms with relatively few details visible. What is noticeable in both reliefs, however, is the movement that is present in them. There is a swing to the bodies - as if they were doing pirouettes or dancing. The bodies are separated and move in isolation, but somehow they still converse with each other. Perhaps there is a longing to be united in a dance? The title alludes to two of the classic roles in commedia dell'arte.

The sculpture was created by the well-known artist Arne Jones. During his lifetime, Jones produced a considerable number of public sculptures nationally. Among other things, Jones explored balance and movement through his sculptures.
