    Mistyczno-religijna ceremonia, przeprowadzana z wielką powagą, w sprzyjającej jej atmosferze. Ma za sobą wiele stuleci.

    Beautiful spectacle, quite private. The music is truly beautiful, so is the dance. The venue is great but you should pay attention to arrive in advance in order to choose your place and have an clear view of the dancers.

    The location instructions were easy to follow, and we arrived at 6:40pm, and the place was already absolutely jam packed. We luckily got the last 2 seats that allowed a fairly good view. If you want front row, or second row seats, get there around 6.15pm (45 minutes before the show starts). A lot of people had to stand around the perimeter, so it was definitely over-sold, and the venue appeared to not have fire sprinklers, which was a bit concerning given the number of people in attendance. Unfortunately, the amazing performance of the musicians and the dervishes was slightly tarnished by the obvious commercial aspect. Also not a show suitable for pre-school aged children!

  • Watch The Whirling Dervishes Twirl Their Way Into Your Hearts

    Head to the historic Kizlaragasi Medrese in Istanbul’s Old City for a cultural evening replete with an enthralling performance by the Whirling Dervishes. These mystical performers of the Mevlevi Order will take you on a spiritual journey over the next 60 minutes. You will get to witness their seven-part Sema ceremony symbolizing the birth of humanity. The Dervishes dress in white flowing gowns and twirl elegantly as a way of answering a higher call to the Almighty. Their soulful choreography is accompanied by a live orchestra playing traditional Persian and Turkish music. As the semazens create an enchanting atmosphere by whirling around in a trance-like state, they help you reach a state of nirvana.

    A Closer Look Into the Centuries-Old Traditions of the Mevlevi Order

    The venerable tradition of the Mevlevi Order believes in connecting with the Almighty through music and meditation, much like its founder Rumi did some 800 years ago. Their religious dance ritual known as ‘sema’ is only performed by dervishes as a prayer offering to Allah. Each and every aspect of the ascetic dance ritual holds spiritual relevance. For instance, their white and black costumes signify the inevitability of birth and death respectively. While the conical felt hats, called sikke, represent the ego.
