"Katabasis" is the Greek word for the journey to the underworld. After the death of Eurydice, Orpheus descends into hell and confronts the agony and suffering of life. When he glimmers at the hope of seeing Eurydice, he ascends and tries to find meaning in living onward - only to come face to face with fate. Orpheus is a philosophical-poem on the cycle of grief and joy, death and living.
