The theorists of intertextuality observed a new meaning of the text that there is no text without a pretext, that the text is not closed, independent and self-sufficient, and that every text is a memory of other texts. In this research, we investigated the ritual and performance in the ceremony of "Tir-ma-size Sho" in Mazandaran. Considering this ritual as a text, and using Genette's transtextuality, the effect of this ritual from previous texts (hypertextuality) was investigated and the role of different texts in the performance of this ritual (intertextuality) was discussed. The purpose of this research is to study the relationship between ritual and drama in order to answer the following question: What is the co-presence of ritual and drama in "Tir-ma-size Sho" from the aspect of transtextuality? The article is done in a descriptive and analytical way borrowing Genette's transtextuality approach based on library research. The hypothesis indicated that in the transtextual relationships of "Tir-ma-size" ceremony, there is a co-presence of various systems such as the dramatic and ritual system with the pretext derived from the mythological sources. The action of "trifunctional" based on “Sovereignty”, “Military” and “Productivity” can be checked in this ritual. The practical battle of good and evil is a dramatization of Tishtar's fight with the demon of drought. It is also a manifestation of the battle with the demon, the enemy of the vegetable gods and plants. "Laal Shu" can be seen as the continuation of Arash's life in the form of a plant symbol that brings existence, birth, and life to people.
