IBLIS and...

Based on motives from the tragedy by Huseyn Javid "Iblis"

A philosophical-deconstructive metadrama

The beginning of the 20th century was a period of global social revolutions. It was during this time that the romantic mode of thinking emerged and strengthened in Azerbaijani literature.

The dramaturgy of Huseyn Javid, an Azerbaijani poet, writer, and playwright, and the founder and main representative of the literary movement of romanticism in Azerbaijani literature, was constructed not on fleeting plots and temporary conflicts, but on global, cosmic, and universal ideas. The dramas of Huseyn Javid, the brightest representative of Azerbaijani romanticism of the 20th century, created a new stage in Azerbaijani dramaturgy in terms of style, writing manner, and form innovation. His philosophical and historical tragedies had a powerful impact on the development of national theater culture, leading to the emergence and development of the "Javid theater".

The theme of IBLIS, explored and attracting attention both in the West and the East, was uniquely resolved by Huseyn Javid within the concept of God. Huseyn Javid presented the concept of Man, Iblis, and God in his distinctive form. His thoughts on Man, Iblis, and God are a significant internal force and essence of his work. This play can be called a deconstruction based on Huseyn Javid's work "Iblis". Based on the motives of the play "Iblis" - "Iblis and...".

The line of intent in the four-act tragedy (one-act metadrama in deconstruction) changes and focuses solely on the God-Iblis and man line. The intent is directed towards Iblis, and the resultant factor is directed towards Man. In short, the play "Iblis" depicts the fate of people who have sold their souls to the devil. This is the victory of IBLIS.

At first glance, the seed of DOUBT in the dark world of Arif, a philosopher drowning in the injustice of the world, his hidden desire for power and wealth, and the restless spirit of an Eastern man leave him in a dilemma between the life he desires and the life he lives.

A person with emptiness inside attracts IBLIS. And Iblis proves to God that he is right in his struggle with man, who caused his exile to Earth.
