It’s by Falling that we Rise

An early work by Rima Pipoyan, It’s by Fallings that We Rise (2007) explores philosophical concepts inspired by Chinese culture, focusing on the idea of self-sacrifice and transcendence through struggle.

The performance unfolds as a physical and spiritual journey where movement reflects both fragility and strength. Drawing inspiration from Chinese philosophy, the dancers embody cycles of falling and rising, suggesting that every downfall contains the seed of renewal. Through sacrifice and resilience, the work meditates on humanity’s quest for meaning, salvation, and the pursuit of higher ideals.
