Riven
a site-specific play about waste pickets set in an actual recycling center
RIVEN follows Melina and Alessandra, two black women from the global south working at a waste picking cooperative – a place where recycled materials are sorted and people are rescued from neglect. Side by side, our characters share not only a lifetime of sorting the accumulated discards of a society that has failed them, but also a promise: to survive and to stay bound to each other.
