Caren Jeß

Eleos is a score of rage. Very lightly, almost fleetingly, beginning with a foreboding, the rage increases from the clueless to the evil. With poetic precision and filigree rhythm, Caren Jeß composes an oppressively beautiful cacophony of darkness from 36 miniatures. Her indignations tell of frustration and rejection, dejection, fear, violence and hatred. They tell of unsuspecting and premeditated rage, of humiliation, insult and again and again of the pain that underlies all rage. Caren Jeß transforms this abysmal feeling into a disturbingly beautiful symphony of language, sound and form. Inescapably funny and tragic at the same time.
