Incredible performance featuring beautiful costumes, hypnotic live music with flutes, strings, percussion and the amazing sight of the Dervishes whirling on the stage.The Order of the Whirling Dervishes is one branch of the vast Sufi tradition of Islam. Sufism espouses a moderate interpretation of Islam, which focuses on love, tolerance, worship of God, community development, and personal development through self-discipline and responsibility. These universal themes are very much relevant to the social and political realities of today, and the ritual Sama performed by the Order of the Whirling Dervishes has come to symbolize these values in the hearts and minds of millions throughout the world.
