bells, masks, goat skins, dancing epirotika, happiness

some what reminds me or a dance of another culture. But I can't think of who it is at the moment.

i respect your opinon! Obviously the alcohol use and the appearance scared you! But it is a ritual with pagan roots...

[Grace3d]

No... it doesn't "scare" me, i guess i just don't get sloppy drunk like that to have fun. Just a little difference.. cheers! Liz

it is coal colour. Through pentatonic music, masks made by coal colour, bells and goat skins on our back we try to get closer to the logic of nature, through an altered state of consciousness. It is a ritual with roots in ancient hellenic mysteries....
