Goa gears
up to host the Delphic Games Come February 2016, Goa is scheduled to host the Vth Youth Delphic Games, the biggest event to be held in the land of sand, sea and surf. If successful, then Goa will probably start being viewed through another prism, that of art and culture. What the Delphic Games essentially are is a global competition with their focus on art and culture — artistes from across the world will compete in music, theatre, painting, performing arts. The competition is divided into six broad categories like, musical arts and sounds, performing arts, language arts, visual arts, social arts and ecological arts and architecture. The Games will attract 7,000 participants from the age of 15 to 25, from 125 countries in six art categories and around 70 sub-categories, spanning two weeks from February 1 to February 14. The Delphic Games are to art and culture what the Olympic Games are to physical sports. They are the largest common floor for art and culture in the world, as Olympics Games are the largest common floor for sports. |
