Of first an entertainment, comedy theatre, then awareness of awareness, awakening, denouncing the socio-economic conditions, political and psychological that lived the Algerian people. This practice has created a theatre of derision and who changed their orientation toward a theater committed view of the events that the country. This article tries to show the role played by dialectal Arabic in emancipation, public awareness as well as in building the identity of the Algerian people.
