Considering the legal environment since1989 relativelyfavorable to the protection of the artistic production the organizers
registered their actions within the framework of a cultural cooperative.The
co-operative The Companions of Nedjma is only the natural
prolongation of the troop taking again themessageas well DEBZA as of Si Amar. Si
Amar being the pseudonym of KATEB
YACINE whose work constitutes the crucible of the
inspiration of the group. The current organization is articulated
around various workshops which on the functional level sound interdependent.
Reflexion and research workshop : Whose
mission consists has to prepare topics of debates around the world
cultural inheritance
for its adaptation to the theatrical set of themes
of the group. The recourse to the contribution of external elements
allows the enrichment of the group as regards formation.
Workshop of Artistic
formation : The
principal action of this workshop consists with the training of young
people in the field of arts taking into account the atavisms developed
by the company with regard to the cultural activity. This compartment
constitute a pole of synergy of the various experiments initiation

The theatrical troop "The companions
of Nedjma" has organized in co-operative of the
same name, that the troop was creates by notarial act in July 23rd,1996
in the locality of Sétif (high plates) distant to 300 km of
the capital
Algiers
where the majority of the elements founders live there. This new organization
was made necessary because of the limits known associative character
in Algeria. The co-operative form has recently made its appearance
in the cultural environment of Algeria.
Nevertheless, the founding members activated formerly in various cultural
organizations and troops of dramatic arts. If during the eighties
years, they were among the organizers of the cultural movement at
the university of Algiers or they produced several spectacles and
two cassettes of songs, they had continued to fight in structures,
which taking into account the absence
of clear policy were pledged as well with regard to their step as
the contents of their representations,
at the local proper authorities this state has quickly created disfunctions
within associations which activated the members in question.
It is clear that the co-operatives have regard to their free operating
mode do not profit from the bottom of assistance of the wilaya under
the form of subsidy, This widened the field of the
theatrical prospection
but narrowed with adequate proportions the material means. Nevertheless,
the need for organizing themselves differently allowed the multiplication of the interventions in the cultural field particularly in producing
co-product spectacles in various fields tending to promote the theatrical
activity and for as well diffusing them at the national level as international.
In spite of the absence of any assistance and in particular the subsidy
only allocated with associations. At this title, the cooperative has
produced three spectacles « The Accused »,
« The Game » and « The
Strayer », that they are diffusing in Algeria as well International,
also the co-operative has co-product with the theatre puzzle « The
Round of Beggars » with text and a scenography of the founder
members of the co-operative as well as various events such as « The
Public Readings » and event the « Black
on White (ACT III) ».
