Dalan Imam Husayn
In this corridor connecting the Andaruni to the Biruni, all accessories for the ceremony of Ashura (see Hashti) and especially for the Tazieh are exposed.

Tazieh means Condolence Theater. It is a traditional Persian theatrical genre in which the drama is conveyed wholly or predominantly through music and singing. Tazieh dates before the Islamic era and the tragedy of Saiawush in Shahnameh is one of the best examples.

Tazieh, in essence an expiation ritual, coincided with the emergence of Shiism.It appeared in the reign of Mu'izz ad-Dawla, the king of Buyid dynasty, in 963. As soon as the Safavid Dynasty was established in Persia in 1501 and the Shiism of the Twelvers was adopted as the official sect, the State took interest in theater as a tool of propagating Shiism.
