About Academia Orphica
ABOUT US
Academia Orphica
Today, more than ever, Art and Culture need rehabilitation and reinstatement of their lost original, sacred role for the human civilization, for the social and individual life.
Academia Orphica is a Creative “Workshop” in which various cultural and art genres and forms are combined as bearers of the supreme ideas and realities, rooted in the nature of our existence, as existential contents that cultivate, ennoble and give meaning to space and time. The public and social demands require that the eternal and innermost longings of every human being for Beauty, Truth and internal Light be satisfied.
We are convinced that the future of culture and art lies in their spontaneity, by overcoming the gap between the Creative Spirit and its “admirers”. The sterility of the museum-like and concert-like is “healed” only by the sanctification of the creative space, where the “stage” is the Life itself with its sacred cycle, recreated as an innermost mystery by all those committed to its Beauty and Value. This Organic Unity between the way of living and the cultural and artistic life is elevated as a mystical insight in the norms of our folklore and is a characteristic feature of our entire ancient spiritual heritage – both family and national.
