A Wild and Crazy Party

Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll!

: )

The Bacchanalia were Roman festivals of Bacchus, 

the Greco-Roman god of 

wine, freedom, intoxication and ecstasy. 

We commonly think of them as frenzied, 

wild and crazy, uninhibited, drunken orgies.

That is what this music and dance express.

It builds and builds and builds into a orgiastic frenzy!
