Industrial Zār

"Zar" is the name of a mythtical creature in the culture of Hormozgan (Iran), that rides the waves from the south, it conquers everyone on it's way and makes one weak, ill and helpless, in a way she/he can't endure life anymore. 

In every region there is a chosen "shaman" who is called "Mama Zar" or "Baba Zar" and tries to cure the conquered person by holding the "zar ritual". By inviting those who have been cured before who are called the "ahl'e hava" (people of the wind) and by playing ritual music and dancing they make a ritual circle and enthuse the Zar so much that it dances away from the hosts body. 

Zar Al-Sana'i (industrial zar) is a free interpretation of this ritual that is held today.
