Italians lowered the curtain while changing scenery as a theatrical convention to maintain the illusion of the performance and to keep the audience engaged. This practice allowed for a seamless transition between scenes without distracting the audience with the behind-the-scenes activity. It also provided a moment for the audience to reflect on the previous scene and build anticipation for the next one. Additionally, this technique helped to manage the pacing of the performance.

When water is turned on in a shower the water curtain moves toward the water because?
Air pressure changes when the hot water generates warmer air, thus like the weather, wind (or in this case a small draft upwards) is generated. Air pressure and current causes the shower curtain to move as cooler air is sucked under and around the curtain.
Why will a shower curtain fly toward the shower when the shower is running and hang straight down when it is off?
When you have a hot shower steam is generated and, because it is warmer than the surrounding air, it rises. As the steam flows upwards, cooler air flows in to the lower level of the shower. If the shower is not fully enclosed, the steam will flow out the top of the shower area and the cooler air will flow in near the base of the shower. If the air cannot easily get around the curtain, it will push it inwards as it flows past. Ways to address this are:fully enclosing the shower to keep the steam inweighting the curtain basehaving significant gaps beside the curtain to let air inhanging the curtain so it is held against the shower base lip by its own weight by positioning the rail well outside (>100mm beyond) the line of the base. (This will mean that if the curtain swings outside the shower base it will drip on the floor, so needs a high lip to hold the curtain in.)This effect is caused by a small reduction in the air pressure of the column of air that is inside the shower curtain. The reduction is caused by the pressure of the water being sprayed out of the shower head having to drop from a higher pressure towards normal atmospheric air pressure. This effect is known as the Venturi Effect.The air does not quite reach normal atmospheric pressure until it gets out of the column of air formed by the shower curtain. Because that column of air is at a lower pressure than the air outside the curtain, the curtain gets pressed inwards by the higher (but normal) air pressure in the rest of the room.This effect happens the same no matter if the water temperature is hot, medium or cold.
Why does a shower curtain move towards your body when you take a shower?
You can thank Mr. Bernoulli for this answer: As a fluid's velocity increases, its pressure decreases. (The term fluid includes liquids and gases.) The water spray moving through the air causes the air to move along with it. As the air and spray moves between your body and the curtain it needs to move faster because your body narrows its path. For the water and air to move faster, it must lose pressure. The pressure of the air on the other side of the curtain is unchanged so it pushes the curtain towards you. Try this: Take a piece of paper (to represent the curtain) and hold it near a wall or a cup (to represent you). Now, with a straw, blow through the gap between "you" and the "curtain". You'll see the same effect.

Why does a shower curtain move towards you during a shower?
The downward movement of the water in the shower creates downward movement in the air inside the shower area. Air flow causes low pressure and so the air pressure from outside the shower area is able to push the curtain inwards.
