What to expect
The evening begins with an introduction to the Sema ceremony, which is a Sufi ritual symbolizing the soul's journey towards divine love. As the show starts, traditional Turkish music played on instruments like the ney and drums sets a contemplative mood. The dervishes, dressed in white robes and tall felt hats, enter the stage solemnly. Their attire symbolizes spiritual concepts: the robes represent the shroud of the ego, and the hats signify its tombstone.
The central performance involves the dervishes spinning gracefully on the spot. With one hand raised to the sky and the other pointing downwards, their whirling is a meditative practice aimed at transcending the ego and connecting with the divine. This continuous, rhythmic spinning creates a hypnotic visual spectacle, evoking a deep sense of peace and reflection in the audience.
