In Iran, puppets are known to have existed much earlier than 1000 AD, but initially only glove and string puppets were popular . Other genres of puppetry emerged during the Qajar era (18th and 19th centuries) as influences from Turkey spread to the region. "Kheimeh Shab-Bazi" is a traditional Persian puppet show which is performed in a small chamber by a musical performer and a storyteller called a "morshed" or "naghal". These shows often take place alongside storytelling in traditional tea and coffee-houses ("Ghahve-Khane"). The dialogue takes place between the morshed and the puppets. A recent example of puppetry in Iran is the touring opera "Rostam and Sohrab".
