mārā sād: Persian 1400

Mara/Sade can be a controversial example of the playwright's approach to history and show how history can be narrated in drama with conflicting concepts, split bodies, lost or unrealized ideas, people deprived of themselves and the public sphere, and another construction of It presented. I hope the reader will look not only at the aesthetic aspects but also at the historical and political aspects of the play and find in them a hint to think about "our own history", in the history where we are standing now and we are looking for a horizon, a horizon that does not happen without looking at what happened in history. This play was translated from the original German language and published by Sohrkamp Publishing in 2004. The importance of choosing this version of the play for translation can be based on two reasons: firstly, the text has been corrected and refined, edited and freed from spelling mistakes by the German publisher, based on the last edition that was done in 1965 under the supervision of Peter Weiss, and Another one is that due to its historical importance, it is accompanied by descriptions and explanations, which help to understand and explain the historical support of the text; Also, as mentioned by the German publisher, this edition can be enlightening and informative for theater students and researchers; It is groundbreaking in that it presents a model of political-documentary theater that can be scrutinized and relied on - apart from slogans and reducing political theater to political speeches - the relationship between theater, politics, and history can be examined.
