Edge of Solace 极境和平

The Edge of Solace, a double-bill performance in collaboration with internationally renowned choreographers, Laba Zhaxi (China) and Roh Hyun Sik (South Korea).

 Simultaneously a conceptual and narrative presentation, the double-bill is inspired by humanity and worldly affairs. Each piece explore progress in growth and navigation in times of turmoil and struggle. Despite originating from distinctively different backgrounds, these original works find a common dance language, fusing traditional Chinese and South Korean dance styles with a contemporary perspective to create a unique and universal language of dance.

 At the same time, the title of the work represents the journey that DES Arts has undertaken to reach this milestone anniversary: as artists work fiercely to scale the infinite heights of artistic excellence, their path is often lonely and always at the edge of solace. And yet, balance is needed—pulling away from this edge when it comes time to stage the work, drawing audiences into the artist’s world.
