At the Temple of Apollo Epicurius
We are a nonprofit artistic company based in Athens, Greece, with a profound mission: to create a unique Anamnesis performance at every significant archaeological site in Greece and beyond.
On July 28 & 29, Anamnesis returns to the sacred landscape of the Temple of Apollo Epicurius with a new immersive performance: Breath of Light.
Set within one of Greece’s most powerful and remote temples, artists, local communities and audience, gather to activate the space, creating an experience that bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary expression.
Your support makes this possible: the delicate process of bringing a sacred site into resonance once more.

Our Vision
At the heart of Anamnesis lies the activation of Greece’s most significant archaeological sites, enriching cultural understanding and fostering spiritual connections that transcend intellectual engagement.
Strategic collaborations with organizations and academic institutions amplify the project's reach, highlighting the Greek spirit on a global scale and ensuring cultural sustainability by passing on invaluable knowledge to new generations of artists and creators.
The Anamnesis Methodology
The Anamnesis Methodology is an artistic, research-based and embodied framework for the creation of site-specific and participatory performances, designed to activate archaeological sites, cultural heritage monuments and landscapes of natural power through contemporary performance.
Rooted in the Platonic notion of remembrance, it approaches each site as a living field of memory, where architecture, mythology, history, landscape and collective consciousness become generators of artistic form.
Through movement, sound, language, ritual structure and audience immersion, Anamnesis creates new ways of encountering cultural heritage: not as static past, but as a living presence capable of shaping ecological awareness, social connection and deeper human reflection.
