المسرح الملحمي ومقارباته النصية والاخراجية في العراق عوني كرومي أنموذجا

Abstract

           Epic theater has great importance in the world theater, Arab and local theater, after which one of the most important and newest currents in the middle of the twentieth century, which achieved wide and rapid spread, as it was consistent with the ideological, cultural, political and philosophical variables of the attempt of the theorists of this trend (Piscator and Bersht) to free themselves from theater is both great in form and content. The current research deals with the experience of the Iraqi director Awni Karumi, one of the most important experiences of Iraqi and Arab theater, as it was consistent with the epic approach, and with this the research came in four sections that included the research problem, its importance, its limits and objectives, and the research concluded by defining the most important terms. The second section is represented by two studies, the first one was a conceptual introduction to the epic theater, and the second one dealt with the foundations of the epic theater and the second chapter came out with several indicators. The third section was procedural, during which the sample was monitored, selected and analyzed, and two models were chosen for the director Awni Karume, namely (The Good Man and the Life of Galilee).

The fourth section is concerned with the findings and conclusions and a list of the most important sources and references. The research has produced important results, the most prominent of which are:

• Awni Karoumi tried to preserve the epic structure (text and direction), as this construction came in the play of the good man in the way that draws and the theory of the epic theater. Even after the text is annotated, we find there are plays that have an Iraqi folk character mixed with the epic Burchette narration.


• The director tried to adapt the text and the presentation to serve the cause he believes in, and the shows were overwhelmed by the Iraqi locality, but it is in an epic template because of the high flexibility that the epic provides in the mechanisms of controlling the dramatic construction and presentation techniques.
