Sid Ali Kouiret (3 January 1933 â€" 5 April 2015) was an Algerian
actor.Kouiret was born at Algiers. He was a theater and cinema
comedian. He had a difficult childhood. His father was a taxi driver,
coming frequently drunk at home and was violent with his mother. On
day, the little Sid Ali Kouiret, overwrought, gave a knife stab in the
back of his father and was obliged to live on the streets at very
young age. At 17, he was a procurer in the port of Algiers and had no
connection with art. But he loved sport, especially swimming. And to
do that, he had to cross "La Rue de la Marine" street. One day, he met
there (at "Le Café de Daniel") Mustapha Kateb who directed in the
fifties an amateur theatrical troupe. Since then, he started his
adventure on the stages.In 1951, he went to Berlin with "El Mesrah El
Djazairi" theatrical troupe. And in 1952, they were in Paris; singing
patriotic texts in Algerian coffees. In 1953, he went to Bucharest for
4th World Festival of Youth and Students for peace. And later the same
year, he became a professional actor and engaged in the municipal
troupe of Algiers, led by Mahieddine Bachtarzi. But in 1955, and
because of the harassment and the persecution of the DST (French
domestic intelligence agency), and for his safety, he was obliged to
go away. So he went to Marseille, then to Paris where he met Mohamed
Boudia, Hadj Omar, Missoum, and Noureddine Bouhired…
