You will be taken to Al-Ghouri Agency from your locations in Cairo and Giza. An hour prior to the event, we will begin our journey.
It is worth noting that the Tannoura Troupe is one of the troupes of the General Authority for Cultural Palaces (Ministry of Culture) in Egypt. It was formed in February 1988 at the Al-Ghouri Heritage Palace and presents its shows periodically throughout the year. It has also participated in most national events within the Arab Republic of Egypt, and has participated and is participating in the external cultural exchange program and international festivals.
The Tannoura troupe's performances are unique in their own way, as they rely on circular movements and stem from the Islamic Sufi sense, which has a philosophical and semantic basis, essentially going back to the Mawlawi concept that says that movement in the universe begins from a point and ends at that same point, and that movement is therefore circular. The accompanying singing is a supplication to God and praise of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and the righteous saints, and some songs and mawwals about popular topics revolving around friendship, peace, generosity, love, and wisdom among people.
The art of the Tannura dance is an authentic folklore art and a rich Sufi heritage that originated in Turkey in the 13th century in the city of Konya. Sheikhs would hold dhikr (remembrance) circles, developed by the Sufi poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi. These circles would consist of no fewer than 40 people, each wearing colorful clothing and circling around themselves during the dhikr. The Tannura dance is performed in circular movements to the rhythm of religious chanting. The Tannura dancer wears three or four tutus, each weighing approximately eight kilograms. A belt wrapped around the top of the tutus tightens the dancer's back beneath the tutus, helping him perform the movements smoothly.
