Abstract
Introduction
Bertolt Friedrich Brecht, writer, director, critic, founder of the Epic Theater, epoch-making personality and people whom Jean-Paul Sartre called without a doubt the greatest contemporary playwright. A poet who influenced Europe, an innovation that transformed the art of theater and opened new and surprising ways for the writer, director, actor and audience. His plays are still staged. Brecht's position in Iran is closely related to theater and plays.  With his ideas about epic theater, he created a fundamental role in the realization of modern theater and contrasted his theater with Aristotelian theater, which was rooted in German dramatic literature until the beginning of the 20th century. Brecht's narrative theater pays special attention to the dignity of man in society.
About Shams Tabrizi and his relationship with Rumi, fantasy, aesthetics, imagery, analysis of fictional elements of Shams's articles; Also, the poetic stories of Ghazliat have been spoken, but so far, no attention has been paid to the structure and content of the stories of the essays and stories of Ghazliat (Moulana) on the basis of implication in narrative plays. In order to know the rational thought and the mystical-artistic and mystical view of Shams, a solid foundation must be found to accompany As a result, the dramatic theater of stories will be staged.
Materials&Methods
The suggestion of the research is that, with the collective cooperation of thinkers and those who are interested in this field, by displaying the above-mentioned stories in the "Brecht's theater" method, the moral, mystical teachings and more importantly, the knowledge of Shams Tabrizi's mysticism should become widespread and universal. And he was not confined among the elites and experts. The research shows that Brecht's system, at least in the field of narrative-educational drama, can be suitable for staging essays and lyrical stories. It can be said that the novelty and originality of Brecht's work lies in the fact that he tries to depict humans in opposition to a social system more than anything else.
The question is, how should it be made available to the public so that it can be understood and rationally awakened? The claim is that stories can be staged through directorial elements such as Brecht's in order to make the human society aware of the constant reflection and training of existence. This research is of a theoretical type, with a comparative-analytical approach. The method of collecting library information and analyzing qualitative information was. The background shows that a research entitled "Reinterpretation of literary images in Shams's sonnets from the perspective of image aesthetics in cinema" by Dr. Hayati and Pournamdarian has been devoted to the reinterpretation of literary images in Shams' sonnets, and Dr. Ali Gravand also in "Boutique of mysterious stories in Shams' sonnets" They have extensively analyzed and detailed the stories.
Discussion& Result Conclusion
The findings show that Bresht considers theater to be free of imitation, just as Shams also considers imitation to be an obstacle to the flourishing of thought, Shams's essays are not merely mystical; rather, they make the audience think; therefore, the rich story of Shams and Moulana is presented with the help of the components of "alienation", "distance", and the presence of personality in the narratives. And the dialogue element, one of the characteristics of Brecht's style, can be staged.
