Notes
  • A documentary film about the ritual dance held on the Greek Orthodox "Cheese Monday" 1967 in the Macedonian village of Aghia Heleni Serres. The ritual has an archetypal cast of characters including the High Priest, the Kalogeros ("Good old man") who wears a long hairy sack and phallic symbols on his belt and head, the King, the Prince, as well as comic characters. The Kalogeros leads a procession from house to house, the King and Prince offer wine, women throw seeds, villagers joke and play pranks, young men engage in a tug of war, and boys representing calves pull a plow, falling repeatedly to the ground to symbolize union with the earth. Finally the Kalogeros feigns death and is resurrected, representing the triumph of life and fertility over death.
