Picture: Whirling Dervishes
Probably the most interesting and unexpected thing we saw in Istanbul was the Sufi religious ceremony-show at the Mevlevi Monastery. My mother and I now have a whirling dervish obsession. We have started writing a musical about whirling dervishes using parodies of Beach Boys songs. Sample: "Round round spin around, I spin around!"

Maybe you don't know but here in Macedonia there are a lot of Dervishis orders or Tarikats. We also have Mevlevi, but there are Rufai, Halvetii, Sadii, Melamii ....
Most famous Teke is in Skopje (Gazi - Baba), from time to time it's open for visitors and you can see ZIKR-ceremony - it's very powerfull.
