"Dignity....hope that permeates" The Irish Times

“We are fallen. We have come up. When you get the chance to move on, we move on.” Fall and Recover is a moving work created by John Scott in 2004 in collaboration with survivors of torture from CCST (Centre for Care for Survivors of Torture) and especially revived for Dublin Dance Festival 2009. The piece draws upon and highlights their extraordinary presence, dignity and determination.

Cast members have lost homes, careers, family and health but their dance celebrates the power of the human spirit and carries imprints from their lives and future hopes.

Rossa Ó Snodaigh’s live music subtly underpins these unspoken shared fragments.

John Scott is one of Ireland’s most highly acclaimed and provocative choreographers. Since founding Irish Modern Dance Theatre in 1991, Scott has pioneered innovative dance expression and promoted dialogue with international choreographers and audiences to achieve this end. The company has performed all over Ireland, in New York and in various European countries.
