The day before yesterday, the artist and former Moroccan Minister of Culture, Soraya Jebran, died at the age of 68, after a struggle with cancer.
Gibran was transferred a few days ago to Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Hospital in Casablanca, after she was ill.
The cultural and artistic institutions in Morocco and the late Arab world mourned, and the Moroccan Syndicate of Dramatic Arts Professionals issued a statement expressing its pride in Thuraya Gebran's creative endeavors on the stage of the world's theaters, and in television and cinema drama, as she is one of the leading figures in art and culture, and one of the flags of the art of acting in Morocco and the Arab world.
Thuraya Gebran performed many famous theater works, and she also held the position of Minister of Culture in the Moroccan government in 2007, becoming the first female artist in the political history of Morocco. But she asked to be removed from the post in 2009 for health reasons, and during her lifetime she was awarded the Order of National Merit, and the Order of the French Republic for Arts and Letters with a knighthood.
Many cultural and artistic institutions also mourned the late artist, foremost of which is the Arab Theater Authority.
The late one is considered one of the stages of the Moroccan theater, as she started her career early and lived through the artistic glow of the late eighties and nineties, and she contributed to the establishment of groups such as “People's Theater,” “Farajah Theater,” and “United Artists Theater.” And among the late plays: “Stories without limits, and we ride the habal, and Boughaba, and the Nimrod in Hollywood, an angry woman, the ginans of karma, the line of return, the eye and the matte, and the flower promises.”
Cultural and artistic institutions in Morocco and the Arab world are described as late.
