Abstract

This research aims to study the play "The leaky Masks" by Azzedine Djellaoudji culturally, in order to
uncover the hidden pattern within its deep structure and bring it to light publicly. It also aims to
demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in studying the theatrical discourse of Azzedine
Djellaoudji, which is considered as a endless fertile field for creating cultural subtexts and
connotations. The play "The leaky Masks" by Azzedine Djellaoudji has constituted a cultural event,
employing linguistic and aesthetic construction to embody a values conflict reflecting the culture of
paradox of the collective pattern. It reflects its reality laden with contradiction and difference,
considering it a formal pattern that creates power and the counter world. This is a result of the
dominance of negative values and the marginalization of positive ones.
