从12月25日到1月5日，在希腊西北部的科扎尼，人们可以看到舞蹈演员、演员和音乐家在乡村街道上表演，并参观人们的家，庆祝新年的到来。由30名男性表演者组成的Momoeria舞蹈团是一个特别关注的群体。他们代表着莫莫斯（笑与讽刺之神）的祭司或亚历山大大帝的指挥官，他们戴着头盔，穿着褶皱的裙子，穿着传统的鞋子，挥舞着棍棒，在领袖的指挥下跳舞，以说服大自然的力量不要危及村民的生计。演员们围着舞者表演一部著名的讽刺剧，剧中的角色有老人和魔鬼（这在不同的村庄可能有所不同），观众被邀请去戏弄他们，创造一个有趣的Atmopsher。风笛等乐器在背景中演奏。这种做法主要是希望社区在未来一年繁荣昌盛，包括健康的后代和丰收，但现在也鼓励对自然资源的可持续管理。庆祝活动在镇广场上达到高潮，每个人围着篝火唱歌跳舞，直到早晨。它从老一辈非正式地传播到年轻一代，象征着社区文化认同的一部分，有助于构建社会融合。

From December 25 to January 5 in Kozani (north-western Greece), dancers, actors and musicians can be seen performing in village streets and visiting people’s homes to celebrate the coming of the new year. The Momoeria dancers, a group made up of 30 male performers, are a special focus. They represent the priests of Momos (god of laughter and satire) or commanders of Alexander the Great wearing helmets, pleated skirts, traditional shoes and brandishing sticks dancing under their leader’s command to convince the powers of nature not to endanger the livelihood of villagers. Actors surround the dancers performing a well-known satirical play featuring characters like an old man and the devil (this can vary among villages) who the audience is invited to tease creating a fun atmopshere. Instruments like the bagpipe play in the background. The practice is mainly to wish the community prosperity in the year ahead, including healthy offspring and good harvests but now also encourages the sustainable management of natural resources. Festivities culminate in the town square with everyone singing and dancing around a fire until morning. Transmitted informally from older to younger generations, it symbolizes part of the community’s cultural identity and helps to build social integration.
