Muharram mourning tradition in the desert

The round stages of tekyehs have been a place for eulogists who lead the mourners to beat on their chests according to the rhythm of a sung eulogy, a rendezvous for those who are wailing over an old but still bleeding wound, as well as a stage for performing tazieh, Iranian passion play, inspired by historical and religious narrations, reviving the story and the pain over and over again.
