Ian Abel | e.r.o.s.

At Berlin, E.R.O.S. appears as the electronic counterweight to dancers Clorine and Effy Marella, working in a mixed bill that leans on restraint and close physical detail. The name nods to the older Eros figure from classical myth, less a cartoon Cupid than a shifting idea of desire, origin, and impulse. The music is built in tight, textural blocks that give the dancers a grid to push against. One clear effect is how the set turns intimacy into structure rather than story.
