Hypnotized by the music, rhythm prevails the dervishes into a dance called « sama ».
The dervishes are insensitive to the presence of the public who sometimes forgets he is not in a folk happening but in a religious rite. They continue their repetitive, head down, arms raised, the right hand facing the sky and the left one down to the earth.
The music stops, the dervishes are grouped in two or three and return to stillness, their minds and their heads do not seem disturbed … Have they reached the trance?
