<p>November 24 at the Chan Shun Concert Hall</p>
<p>Rumi, the 13th century Sufi mystic, ended one of his fervent poems =
with a prophetic line: "Dazed by the marvels of love, our whirling end=
ures." Founded in his name, the Mevlevi Order has kept the tradition of s=
ema, the whirling ritual, alive for centuries - 2007 marks the 800th anni=
versary of sema culture. A precise choreography, a mesmerizing meditation=
in motion and a radiant quest for divine illumination set to sacred musi=
c, the whirling ritual is one of the world's most exquisite spiritual cer=
emonies - and no one performs it better than the Whirling Dervishes of Tu=
rkey. For more information, visit <a href=3D"http://artsculturalguidetobc=
