Abstract: (357 Views)
In the play Death of Yazdgerd, Bahram Beyzai challenges the conventional historical narratives surrounding the death of Yazdgerd. The characters improvise both plausible and implausible micronarratives about the king’s murder. The play investigates, on one hand, the grand narrative in which divine power grants the king the authority to govern the populace, and on the other hand, the micronarratives that challenge the logic of this absolutist monarchy. The research also demonstrates Beyzai’s techniques to deconstruct the grand narrative and recontextualizing it within the level of micronarratives.
