ROMANCE w Moderna + Eli Escobar
About This Event
ROMANCE at Gabriela features Moderna, Eli Escobar and British performer-and-DJ Andi. Their sets converge on dance-floor construction and measured pacing: Moderna brings a jazz-informed, transition-focused approach and restraint, Eli Escobar leans on house production, and Andi applies a background in stagecraft and writing to favor clarity over spectacle.
About ROMANCE
Romance or romantic love is a feeling of strong attraction toward another person, a mental state of "being in love" with courtship behaviors and focused attention on forming a relationship, and the practice of initiating relationships based on passionate feelings over more practical or ordinary concerns. Romantic love is considered to be a motivation or drive, which is distinct from the concept of attachment.
