Dear Son
Riva&Repele
Choreographers and dancers Simone Repele and Sasha Riva bring their moving production Dear Son to the stage of Teatro Malibran. At the heart of this poignant work lies a story of memory and hope — the portrait of a family devastated by the loss of a son who has gone to war. Past dreams and future aspirations are shattered, suspended in a present marked by stillness and sorrow.
With poetic sensitivity, Dear Son offers a powerful reflection on the fragility of life in a world still scarred by the persistence of war and conflict — a deeply human narrative that transcends time and place.
