J'avais pourtant déjà assisté à ce type de cérémonie spirituelle en France mais celles-ci ne m'avaient pas touchée à ce point. Émue aux larmes, j'aurais souhaité un temps de recueillement à la fin pour prolonger cet état de grâce et faire perdurer cette vibration mais les touristes ne semblaient pas avoir vécu la même expérience, puisqu'à peine terminée, ils se sont levés pour partir. J'ai aimé les phrases qui s'affichent sur le mur pendant la danse des derviches, le lieu, l'exposition, l'accueil, l'atmosphère générale. Merci de diffuser, de faire vivre la sagesse de Rumi par delà les siècles. Si ce spectacle vous a plu, je vous conseille de lire Soufi mon amour de Elif Shafak.

Enjoy an immersive Sema ceremony featuring a 5-min intro video, 10-min Sufi concert, and the full 45-min whirling ritual.

Explore the exhibition showcasing dervish clothing, instruments, historic books, hyperrealist statues, and interactive Rumi poems.

Watch the UNESCO-recognized Mevlevi ritual that traces the dervishes’ spiritual journey toward divine love.

Watch the Whirling Dervishes perform their spiritual dance, accompanied by traditional music in an atmospheric setting.

Choose your preferred entry time with either a 5pm ticket or a 7pm Prime Time ticket to best suit your schedule.
