Step inside the World of THE ORPHEUS PROJECT
THE CONCEPT THE ORPHEUS CENTER & EXPERIENCE
The most beautiful place ever built for healing people with art and music ! The most beautiful international Center for music-therapy ever envisioned, at the core of which is grandiose, multimedia, multilevel musical shows. Music therapy has been known for a millennium. As modern science has evolved and advanced, thousands of physicians around the world have incorporated strategic forms of music and art therapy into potent patient treatments. Medical studies validate that—administered under controlled conditions—these blended therapies can be miraculously effective. The material presented within this site represents the culmination of years of creation, experimentation, and scientific studies focused on the association between music, medicine, philosophy, the humanities, and social sciences. Here, we present the most current development of our vision for a remarkable enterprise of great merit. The concept for the Orpheus Project comprises two central aspects: the Orpheus Experience, and The Orpheus Center.
THE ORPHEUS EXPERIENCE A wide-ranging, modern-day, multimedia musical "spectacle" that includes a dramatic series of artistic and musical presentations on stage and screen, leveraging state-of-the-art visual and audio components. Evolving within strategic two-to three-hour long sessions during the course of several days, this performing arts spectacle depicts a reinterpretation of The Orpheus Myth – adapted to the twenty-first century. Similar to exhilarating opera and film, the Orpheus Experience is a powerful presentation that evokes deep-seated emotion. The spectacle triggers a liberating catharsis, engendered by coaxing the emergence of repressed emotions that – when released and explored under controlled conditions – ultimately heals the wounded psyche. This Orpheus Experience mobilizes positive mental forces that generate constructive feelings, and stimulate the imagination and creative intelligence. Going further, this experience empowers spectators to become aware of their inner lives, in the quest for emotional evolution.
It is the core of The Orpheus Project.

THE ORPHEUS CENTER The most spectacular singular site ever envisioned as an international venue that blends the arts, medicine, and technology—strategically designed to awe, inspire, and simultaneously heal people around the world. The Orpheus Center comprises: A magnificent, multi-level complex comprising a 3,000-seat multimedia amphitheater A vast healthcare and resource center with a 4,500-person capacity Onsite accommodation to accommodate 3,500 people Catering facilities to ensure a pleasant, curative stay For those who desire, the Orpheus Center offers professional preparation, treatment, and follow-up adapted to individual experiences generated by the spectacle. Cognizant that an initial catharsis prefaces gradual emotional healing, a highly qualified on-site staff offers support and various treatments during this 10-15 day journey. Spectator visitors are able to relax between sessions and consult with on-site practitioners that offer guidance, support, and other high-quality therapeutic approaches–all of which are designed to release tension in the body and revitalize the mind. These services empower visitor progress toward self-understanding between sessions. For those who wish to continue treatment, in the desire to sustain a centered perspective, specific services are also offered year 'round, as needed.
READ MORE THE ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT Here, I would like to thank in particular Dominique G. Julliard — my best friend, business partner and comrad in arms, during 37 years —for making this concept possible. Dominique worked on the preliminary technical studies, based on my initial drawings. We later invited a Swiss team of architects and engineers from Geneva— De Planta & Portier Architectes, Guscetti & Tournier Ingénierie Civile Limited —to participate in development of the amphitheater and stage—from which the entire healing complex evolves. All these individual and collective labors have gradually advanced my vision. A detailed plan materialized, in collaboration with Dominique and the Swiss team tweaked the form and function of my design. In this process, I wanted to ensure congruity of the center with the first symbols that intuitively guided my design. In December 2007, Benoit Guiguet created the first 3D model. I then focused entirely on the 3D Project for the Orpheus Center between January 2008 until Spring 2010. With the assistance of Michel Ramillon, we transferred data from Allplan 3D planning and design software to Carrara Pro Version 6.2 and SktechUp Pro Version 6.4. Et voila, a new adventure began!
