This is an extract from Behrouz Gharibpour's Operâ-ye 'Ashourâ (Opera of 'Ashourâ), a puppet opera inspired by the Sicilian traditional opera di pupi, used in Sicily to transmit Sicily's great epic heritage. Director Behrouz Gharibpour, inspired by this unique tradition, decided to create an Iranian version of this tradition in order to transmit the unique sacred epic of Karbalâ. This extract depicts the martyrdo of Hadhrat 'Abbâs (as).
