Adaptation of Heydar Babaye Salam opera from Haydar Babaye Salam poem by Shahryar

Iranian literature is considered a great source for adapting and creating dramatic works, one of which is the poem of Heydar Babaye Salam Shahriar. Recently, this poem has influenced the performing arts, and Haidar Babaye Salam's opera has been adapted from this poem. Among the theoreticians regarding adaptation, Linda Hatchen can be mentioned, who considers adaptation to be the re-creation of literary works based on a visual work or vice versa, where creativity is involved. One of the creative methods in creating artistic and literary works is imagery, which is referred to as literary (mental) images and artistic (visual) images. With a descriptive-analytical approach, this research first tries to explain the imagery of Haiderbaba's poem and then the authors adapted from this poem, which were used to create dramatic images, were discussed. Considering the aspects and dimensions of the influence of Heydar Baba's opera from this poem, the conclusion has been reached that the author and director of Heydar Babaye Salam's opera, relying on Shahriar's poem, in addition to trying to recreate and introduce this literary masterpiece in the form of performances at the national and international level has also tried to revive the theatrical form of opera after the Islamic revolution by emphasizing the aspect of ethnic culture.
