Biography

He is widely recognized for his role as "L'Apprenti" (the apprentice), performed in theater, television, and films alongside his friend and collaborator Hadj Abderrahmane in the "L'inspecteur Tahar" series during the late 1960s and 1970s. The early death of his partner led him to withdraw somewhat from the arts scene. He began his career in comedy and acting in 1940. By chance, he took the stage to replace a young actor who was ill. Their theatrical troupe consisted of young talented performers who soon became well-known in Algeria, including Sid Ali Kouiret, Allel El Mouhib, Rouiched, and others. These actors later formed "El Masrah El Djazairi" (the Algerian Theater), directed by Mustapha Kateb, under whose guidance Yahia Benmabrouk honed his theatrical skills. In 1956, during the Algerian War of Independence, he was targeted in an attack by the French extremist group "Pied-Noir," which kept him off stage for almost two years and led him to leave Algeria for France. His stay in France was brief, as in 1958 the FLN (National Liberation Front) invited him to join other artists in forming a theatrical troupe aimed at promoting Algeria internationally and advocating for the Algerian people's struggle for freedom. Yahia Benmabrouk returned to Algeria at the end of the war and continued performing with the group that would become the Algerian National Theatre until his retirement in the 1980s. The year 1967 was pivotal for him, marking the creation of the dynamic duo: Yahia Benmabrouk (L'Apprenti) and Hadj Abderrahmane (L'Inspecteur Tahar) in the film "L'Inspecteur Tahar Mène l'Enquête," which was followed by numerous other films. The tragic death of Hadj Abderrahmane on October 5, 1981, deeply affected him, leading to a period of depression. He passed away on October 8, 2004, at the age of 76, at the university hospital of Bab-El-Oued.
