Choreographer and visual artist Darren Johnston’s main inspiration for his latest work Zero Point can be traced back to a residency he had at The Museum of Art, Kochi. His time in Japan would allow for him to visit sacred temples and to also learn about certain disciplines such as Butoh and Qigong.

Dante Alighieri‘s triptych, The Divine Comedy is regarded as one of the greatest pieces of literature to have ever been written. A long form poem written in three parts; Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, the piece continues to inspire all forms of art today. Written in 1308 and completed a year before Alighieri’s death in 1320, The Divine Comedy taps into the unknown, the afterlife and envisions what lies beyond our physical world.
