==Place and Time of Performance==  
Pardekhani generally is performed in a square where people are present. The curtain is attached to a wall using a few nails or to two pillars or trees and the singer stands next to it. However each Pardekhan knows the choice of time and place influences the number of audience. The best places are at intersections, near small squares, and near sacred places and [[Imamzadehs]] (shrines).

The second scene is the Curse of the Parents. The Parent's Curse conveys the concept of children not being grateful and the curse of parents. When a child is ungrateful for having a mother, the grave of the child burns in fire. She or he with interference of the saints is saved and the mother lifts her curse. The name of [[Imam Hussain]] mediates the saving of the child.
