Arous Gouleh


AROUS GOULEH

Arous Gouleh is also a tradition which was performed before the New Year. This show was done with a rhythmic song with an ethical concept. There were three characters in this show; Ghoul (Giant), Peer babo (Grand father) and Naz khanom. A young boy often wore ladies clothes and acted instead of Naz khanom. Peer babo and Ghoul had a conflict for Naz khanom. Ghoul was very outlandish, with his special hat (Kolush: hat) jingler and mace. They came over to the houses and played their roles earned some gifts. Sometimes a lady named “Kass khanom” was added to this group.
