This show was inspired by Agnes – a protagonist in the novel Immortality by Milan Kundera. In the novel, Agnes is constantly trying to escape from reality and desires a new world beyond this universe. Absorbing herself in the imagination of Agnes, Duong Thuy Duong also wonders if there is a beginning of a new world. What lies behind the creation of this universe? Is the creation of the new world different from the shape of Mary and Jesus described in the New Testament?
