DESCRIPTION:

Sinking explores the encounter of two broken souls in a timeless space, as if brought together after a catastrophe. A silent dialogue unfolds, giving way to the pure language of the body.

The dancers seek one another, rediscovering their forms through fluid, sculptural movements that gradually evolve into more physical, expressive sequences—like a series of fleeting memories.

Riva & Repele invite the audience to bring their own interpretation to the performance. The duet balances dynamic, physical moments with the simplicity and truth of small gestures, preserving abstraction while conveying intense emotion.
