Zaar - Oriental Dance´n Drums at Kulturhavn 2016

The setting is Kulturhavn København 2016 (Culture Harbour Copenhagen)
In this piece, we are presenting chosen elements from a zaar-ritual - changed and shortened to fit a stage setup.
The instrument used for taqsim while we get ready is a Yayli Tanbur (meaning a tanbur played with a bow).
The special belt worn by the dancer is a homemade manjour, with dried goat hooves

plus Gisela Karlestedt, Lise Kofod and Dorthe Birgitte Bisp, Kinne Bassett, Ragnhild Kallehauge, Anu Vastenius, Søren Ravn, Henrik F. Larsen, Fredrik Emmerfors
and Marianne Mogensen (founder & leader - and here playing the dawul)
