Step by Step
Come to this show where you will see the Dervish Whirling Dervishes dance live. This is a traditional dance where you will see the Dervishes whirl like whirlwinds as their skirts fly in the air. It is so old that it has even been declared an Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
This ticket will give you access to the Mevlevi Sema ceremony, where in addition to the dancers, there will also be a live Turkish orchestra. To help you learn about the culture and origins of this dance, a multinational booklet is included at the beginning of the show.
The origin of this dance is spiritual, so the Dervishes perform a mystical and spiritual ritual during the dance, which lasts approximately 1 hour. Along with the dancers, up to 360 videos will be projected to make the experience even more immersive.
Food is not included, however, to ensure that no one goes thirsty during the show, a bottle of bottled water is included.
