“…It gives the understanding of the facts and events of history to change the present and future. In this background, Koutsourakis (2012) investigates that Brecht's concept of historicization "does not provide us with an understanding of the workings of history. It is only using a theoretical reconstruction and re-viewing of the facts that historical effects can be appreciated and understood where the historical past and present are nothing but an established narrative" that works for the "transformation of the audience's historical consciousness" (p. 170).…”

The study investigates historical distancing through the metatheatrical perspective in Shahid Nadeem's play Dara. The stance of the study is three-dimensional. First, the metatheatrical lens hints toward the illusionistic world of theatre. This perspective refrains the audience to be identified with the actors in action on stage. Second, Nietzsche's "Critical" type to look at history reshapes, redefines, and reconstructs the historical perspectives. Shahid Nadeem's play Dara views history critically to dig out the lost identity of Dara. Third, Brecht's concept of historicization challenges the established narratives of history. The objective of the study is to explore the challenges, narratives, and construction of history that made the heroes as villains and villains as heroes through Nadeem's play Dara. The results hint that the construction of history can be redefined and reconstructed which may lead to altering the future through a dialectical perspective. The research is qualitative and explorative.
