Ajkun s journey in unveiling dance is abstract in nature, because "in the world of art, you can get past the usual confinements of storytelling, and decide to simply connect with your own intimate emotions.

The word Inferno certainly raises a hell of a lot of questions in the human mind.

Starting with mythology, going through religions and ending with science, the truth is: we are not completely clear about where we go in the Afterlife.

Nevertheless, according to Ajkun, there is Inferno in This Life.

We are the product of History, and yet, fail to remember it. Today struggle is not so different from Yesterday s, and may be the foretelling of Tomorrow s .

Centerpiece of his new choreography are Lucifer (J Ryan Carroll) and his perennial conflict with the strikingly powerful Michael (Brittany Larrimer), featured alongside Momoko Sasada, Marcello Bernard, Adela Lami, Morgan C. Stinnett, Su Hyeon Ahn, and the Corps de Ballet of the Ajkun Ballet Theatre.

Inferno premieres at the MMAC Theater (248 West 60th Street (Lincoln Center Area), New York City, NY 10023 (Wheelchair accessible) on October 29-30-31, 2014, curtain at 8pm.
