Haft Lashkar (The Seven Corps) is one of the examples of “The Narrators’ Comprehensive Scroll” in Ghajar dynasty’s era which was structured in a written form by an unknown narrator in 1292 L.H (1900s A.D). Haft Lashkar is actually the name of one of the famous “war-narration” stories of story-narrating field which applied to one of the Comprehensive Scrolls of the Narrators as well, due to its fame and vogue. Scrolls, including the above mentioned example, are prose and codified versions with creatively-provided grounds used as references by narrators to tell stories, among which the epic often included the beginning of Kiumars’s kingdomthat started up until the end of Bahman and Homai or Darab’s kingdom.
The narrative aspect of the text is the reason why there is coherence and connection between the literature and drama. The story narration leads the story telling towards the drama narration with dramatic gestures and narrator’s replacement with different characters of the story miming and copying their manners and actions, which is called “The Dramatic Story Telling”. This kind of dramatic story telling which mostly led to a “Single-performance” drama during the Islamic era iscalled “Story Narrating” and increased its dramatic capacity of the Narrative Art boosting the acting capabilities.
In the field of the narrative elements of drama, using involutes and parallel narrations in the light of the original narration making pre-planned ups and downs, has showed the background of escaping and - followed by re-formation – the suspension as the story cut-off, scene cut-off and its connection with time in the aforementioned scroll. In this regard, sequence scrambling of the events in the suspension dramatic structure holds an objective workability. This technique has made the regular sequence of the events deviated in the light of suspension element from its usual path in two forms, retrospection and providence; in addition to the concept of the escape-form suspension and the response to the question “How it will be?” in the Iranian drama, it has raised the fundamental question “What will happen?” in the dramatic suspension in relation with the addressees’ expectations in their mind, as well. |
