Summary/Abstract: A close scrutiny in the orgy’s dimension as a figure, unveils an order which shows us that there is a specific depth behind the apparent “coitus chaos”. The orgy’s history dates back to archaic rates (funeral, magical) closely related to the system of taboos. By turning the social order upside down, imposing sacred violence and rapture, it grants abundance and establishes order once again.
