"Orpheus"

An image from the ancient Greek circle: the singer whose music subdues the world — a symbol of the creative gift, of freedom and the power of art.

Orpheus at Grev Kafi belongs to the ancient Greek circle of subjects, tied to the themes of freedom, dignity of spirit and the creative gift. Here myth becomes a philosophical form of thinking rather than an "old fairy tale."

The image of the singer whose music can transfigure the world expresses the artists' faith in the power of art as a cultural and moral force.

"Orpheus" adjoins the circle of the "Great Teachers of Humanity" through its ancient layer — alongside Prometheus, as an image of the creative gift and of responsibility.
