Breath Of Light I Temple of Apollo I Ancient Corinth I
Breath Of Light
An Anamnesis site specific ceremonial performance created for the Temple of Apollo in Ancient Corinth, Greece.
BREATH OF LIGHT
An Immersive Experience
from Sunset to Moonlight
On July 28th and 29th, 2026, under the full moon, Breath of Light activated the Sanctuary of Apollo as a site-specific and participatory performance.
Music, choreography, and sacred text created a shared experience of rare beauty and depth within one of the most spiritually charged landscapes in Greece.
Audience, performers, landscape, moonlight, and memory become one breathing body.
What awakens when an ancient sanctuary breathes again?
A Return to Balance
In our time, humanity is losing its sense of measure and has fallen out of balance. Drawing on the archetypal energies of Apollo-light, harmony, reason-Breath of Light asks:
Can we find our way back
from fragmentation to unity,
from chaos to clarity,
from alienation to one breath?
