Description "The opening 1992 season of the ballet is aptly named On The Edge, because the five dancers with their athletic grace and tireless energy, literally sweep the audience "to the edge" of what is possible physically...Lucas' new ballet Motherland Grasp deftly exposes the unflexibility of colonisation...Sietsma's Dark Heart is a brilliantly irreverent exposition of social hypocrisy, inspired by the world of Moliere's Le Misanthrope...Don Asker's Skin Deep is a powerful theatrical piece...pretence between lovers and the love is swept away and the real self revealed."
