Abdelrahman Abo Zhra has a great artistic history engraved in the conscience of Egyptian and Arab art, just like Adel Emam, Mahmoud Yassin, Nour El-Sherif and many others. He was able to become one of the Egyptian family when they watched “Al-Jazeera”, “Baheb El Cima”, “Malak wa Shitan”, and many series in which he appeared, even if in a few scenes, but they remain in the memory.
Recently، he suffered a health problem, so President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi phoned him to check on his health. This was a humanitarian gesture that carries many connotations, that symbols of art and culture are not away from the state's attention, and do not fade over the time.
Today, at a moment when art is in need of its icons, Abdel Rahman Abu Zahra remains a landmark in the history of Arab creativity, not only for the timeless roles he has performed, but also for his distinctive voice and unique performance that combines sincerity, dignity, and talent. He is one of the few who have created prestige for Egyptian theater, depth for drama, and respect for artistic personality.
Over more than fifty years, he has presented dozens of works that have left an impact in hearts and minds, including "King Lear" and "The Count of Monte Cristo." He has also mastered the classical Arabic language, giving it new life through his own words. Abdelrahman Abo Zhra is not just a prominent actor in the history of Egyptian drama; he is one of its most enduring pillars, a living witness to a time when characters were crafted professionally.
His performances, and his constant adherence to dignity and good taste, remain present in our consciousness as an everlasting icon. An actor from the golden age, he was neither consumed by fame nor seduced by the spotlight. He remained a firm believer that art is a message before it is a profession, and that dignity is the first condition of creativity.
He gained the love of the audience for the values he represented, including commitment and respect.
He was and remains one of the finest figures to speak on behalf of art and express it.
Get well soon, Abo Zhra. The theater is still awaiting your steps, and the camera still knows your place and position.
