Abstract

Theory of the origin of ritual theater is still the most credible theory on the development of drama in the world. Rituals in terms of function, construction and even implementation are very close to drama, so that at times they cannot be clearly separated. Now the question is that what are the dramatic elements of the “Qanbar’s Elegy” ritual in Fasa, Iran? The present study answered the question by referring to the history of the world and Iran. The rituals are a form of knowledge and a means of recording events and sanctities. Since the Ta’zieh of Qanbar’s Elegy unites the audience, who are also the actors, through a social and creative activity, and equalizes the individual truth of the participants with the cosmic truth, it could have the required elements of play; elements such as location, performers, dramatic movement and the audience. The present research paper has tried to review the dramatic aspects of Qanbar’s Elegy ritual in the city of Fasa in a descriptive analytical way.
