With over 20 years of international experience and performances in more than 50 countries, Ziya Azazi brings a truly unique presence to the stage.

Blending contemporary dance with the ancient practice of dervish whirling, Azazi creates a hypnotic performance that transcends narrative and language. His work is rooted in repetition, endurance, and deep emotional awareness — transforming spinning into a powerful meditation in motion.

“Dervish in Progress” is more than choreography. It is a physical and spiritual exploration of balance, gravity, and trust. As the body turns, the mind surrenders. There is no fixed image, no stable ground — only the axis within.

Accompanied by immersive music and refined light design, Azazi invites the audience into a mesmerizing world where vulnerability becomes strength and movement becomes transcendence.

An unmissable experience of intensity, ritual and transformation.
