Zar - an ancient musical ceremony of exorcism in the space of modern clubs in Egypt
On one of the dark, quiet streets of Cairo there is an inconspicuous building. Inside, steps lead to the basement. Square room, maximum capacity for 70 people. No stage. There is a very small gap between the listeners and the speakers. On Wednesdays - dawn ceremonies. Despite its small size, Makan is an Egyptian center for culture and the arts. Makan translates to "This place". One of the few spaces in Cairo where singers from different traditions perform - Islamic folklore, Sufis, and Zar.
