Dervishe Dance: This is a traditional art that has its roots in Sufism, a mystical trend in Islam. It is also known as "sema" or "mevlevi" and is characterised by a beautiful and symbolic ritual performance in the form of a round dance.
In the traditional Dervishe dance the participants are men dressed in long white robes with wide round skirts. They hold their hands in the air and rotate around their axis, creating a beautiful and harmonious movement. An important element of this dance is the symbolism of rotation, which represents the search for divine truth and unity with God.
It is usually accompanied by music, and the performance itself is a form of meditation and spiritual attainment. The rotation of the dervishes also symbolises the rotation of the planets and the turning of the earth on its axis, calling for inner centering and harmony.
This traditional dance. It is a unique combination of physical activity, spiritual practice and artistic expression.
- You cannot go outside during the ritual
- You must watch the whole ritual calmly and quietly.
- You cannot take photographs, video recordings, etc. during the ritual (you may be able to do this after the ritual).
