Abstract

   In the lives of peoples, there are many taboos that need a process of breaking and smashing, especially the group of customs and traditions that restrict thought and paralyze and stagnate the mind, which represented coffins that have settled in various human societies and have lived in them for long periods of time, looking for someone who strips them and removes the artificial robe of sanctity and leaps on its ruins to paint a reality Better and more beautiful, and at the same time there are constants that represent the identity of the community and that cannot be broken and transgressed because the process of breaking and transgressing them puts society in a state of loss, loss of originality and lost in the whirlpool of mirage, and this research is an attempt by the researcher to investigate a group of religious, political and social taboos found in Our contemporary reality and research in the process of breaking it through study and analysis, and the process of breaking the taboo was not a new or artificial process, but rather an old process as old as human thought, which judged the constants and prohibitions and silenced them in order to sort, classify and prune them, and in this regard comes the experience of the Iraqi playwright (Ali Abd al-Nabi al-Zaidi) in his set of theatrical texts that bore the name (The Divinities) to pour into the waterwheel of renewal through the caves. Lira in subtraction and breaking monotony, imitation and stereotypes
