Considering the fundamental importance of ritual and narrative in the formation and development of drama, the present research, centered on Mircea Eliade's theory and Gerard Genette's narratological perspective, comparatively examines the ritual language and temporal structure in Bahram Beyzaie's Afra and Wajdi Mouawad’s Tous des Oiseaux [All the Birds]. The main issue of the research is how Beyzaie and Mouawad have used the transformation of the narrative temporal system and the evolution of ritual language and structure to continue and recreate the myth. Efforts have been made to comparatively examine the linguistic layers and narrative-ritual structure in the selected plays using a descriptive-analytical approach and accurate textual reading. The innovation of the research lies in integrating these two theoretical frameworks for contemporary dramatic texts with different cultural origins. The findings show that despite the diminishing role of text in contemporary theater, ritual still has a living presence in the narrative and linguistic structure of these works, and as a narrative structure, it provides a possibility for the contemporizing of myth and understanding of ritual language in contemporary theater. This research ultimately helps to better understand how myth continues in modern drama.
