The Arabs: Ali Ben Ayed

This program pays tribute to Aly Ben Ayed (1930-1972), a leading figure in Tunisian theater and cinema. The portrait, of great intensity, is accompanied by the masks of tragedy and comedy, symbolizing his immense talent as an actor and director who revolutionized the national drama scene. By celebrating this prematurely deceased artist, Tunisia underlines the importance of the performing arts in the construction of a modern identity open to the universal. It is a tribute to the creative audacity and cultural excellence that continue to inspire generations of Tunisian artists.
