THE WHIRLING DERVISHES OF RUMI IN CANADA

The Whirling Dervishes of Rumi7:30 pm - Ticket Prices: $30, $40, $50


Dear friends,

Canadian-Turkish Community is to organize the unique event called The Whirling Dervishes of Rumi. The group is coming from Turkey to perform a series of shows in five major cities of Canada.

The Mevlevi order has been established on the teachings of Mevlana Jalaladdeen Rumi, Rumi for short, in late 13th century. As a poet, Rumi has enjoyed enormous popularity in North America recently. This group has performed so many shows in various cities in the US for the last five years but this is the first time that they will be in Canada.

They will perform one of the most exquisite ceremonies of spirituality, a mesmerizing seven-century old ritual, incredible performance featuring beautiful costumes, hypnotic live music with flutes, string and percussion, and the amazing sight of the Dervishes whirling on the stage.

The ritual unites the three fundamental components of human nature: the mind (as
knowledge and thought), the heart (through the _expression of feelings, poetry and music), and the body (by activating life, by turning). These three elements are thoroughly joined both in theory and in practice and as perhaps in no other ritual or system of thought.

Please feel free to forward this to anyone who you think might have an interest.
