Actors and celebrities at the Muharram mourning ceremony

Ta’zieh – The religious street theatre in the month of Muharram

Ta’zieh is a play on religious rituals, which is especially performed in Iran during the holy month of Muharram concurrent with the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein and 72 of his companions in Karbala.

In fact, the underlying philosophy of Ta’zieh is the war between Virtue and Vice, which has prevailed since the beginning of life.
