Abstract
Didascalia is an element of the drama structure that includes the author's instructions in the form of a scene description and is second in importance after the main text as a secondary text. This concept is one of the common concepts in the field of theater, and its many functions have made it compatible with theatrical events. These functions help the actor in playing the roles by being able to plan and clarify the titles, characters, behavioral and verbal actions as well as time and place. By focusing on these functions, the Omani poet Saif al-Rahbi has given his poems the ability to examine them with a dramatic view. This research, with a descriptive-analytical approach, while admiring Al-Rahbi's poetry and the uniqueness of his style in his compositions, aims to reveal the main purpose of the poet in using scene descriptions. In this regard, this research has paid attention to five of the most prominent functions that play an important role in the formation of didascalia structure, that is, nominal, melodic, spatial, temporal, and scenography functions. However the result of the research indicates that the poet's attention to the characteristics of performing arts is derived from his attitude towards how to express and search for a broad vision that covers all scenes, for him, poetry is a mixture of different arts. Narrative language dominates Al-Rahbi's poetic structure, therefore, he portrays his daily observations, exile, and criticism of class conflict through didascalia to renew and avoid stereotyped methods
