Despite Covid-19 pandemic

Taziehs can be performed

Iran Theater- Ebrahim Galleh-Darzadeh asked for a solution to perform tazieh during Muharram, which is coming in two weeks in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic

Iranian Association of Tazieh Managing Director has said that tazieh performances should not be halted and these ritual plays can be performed during Muharram observing health protocols despite the pandemic.

“Tazieh is a ritual performance, which dates back to centuries ago in Iran and is performed during Muharram. It is not only a kind of performance but also a ritual play people have beliefs in. Tazieh was long liked by many from the old days and many gathered to watch the performances, and that is why Dowlat Tekyeh was constructed,” Galledarzadeh said.

Dowlat Tekyeh was a place for seasonal Islamic ceremonies that was built during the reign of Qajar king Nasser ad-Din Shah near the Golestan Palace downtown Tehran.

Tazieh was also performed in big squares and courtyards, which used to attract many viewers.
