Artist Shaima Allawi, the beauty of the Amazigh screen
Shaima Allawi was able to impose herself in the Amazigh drama scene due to the various works she has accumulated, as her performances vary between theater and playing on stage, and all that requires is a tremendous direct effort with the audience, and between appearing on television and playing different roles. There is no doubt that... Her appearance, features, and composition helped her succeed in performing various roles. For example, we find her in the movie (Belle of the Countryside) in which she played a distinguished and very convincing role, and she assumed the character of a girl seeking fame through the world of the Internet and social networking sites. Her charm was in line with the Tik Tok generation and the imitating youth. With the virtual world, and the resulting alienation from reality, resorting to dreams and imaginary and electronic spaces. I believe that her experience in this film is distinct, and it took her out of some of the stereotypical roles she had played before.
As for her performance in the series “Avazar”, we can say that the character that she played (Louiza) was appropriate. According to the events of the series, she plays the lead role, or was intended to play this role, and even the generic song was made according to her size and sings of her name, her merits, and her role. The series reveals the heroine from the first moment. The recipient’s or viewer’s horizon of expectation is not broken, and the heroine is expected to be in control of the events, loyal, and overcoming crisis situations.
The truth is that the artist Shaima Al-Allawi meets a set of conditions that may make her rise to what is called (the star actress), as she has attractive physical features, very expressive facial features, and agility in movement and mobility, in addition to other psychological elements that help her impose her personality in the role assigned to her. Quite simply, her face is a portrait that can fill the frame of the screen and attract attention. The actor’s appearance has always been a reason for his success and fame in international cinema and drama, and in fact this may often help him play the lead. But this, of course, is not enough. Rather, we now (in modern drama) see the heroine or hero in a group of works possessing normal physiological characteristics. The super star or the exciting and extraordinary hero has declined, and has been replaced by the ordinary, popular hero.
Today, in the field of Amazigh drama, it has become required to resort to other themes and different works that invest daily life and livelihood in a refined artistic form. It is not always possible to limit ourselves to local specificity and drowning in the heritage and historical dimension. It is necessary to resort to topics in which what is evident is (psychological, police, prison). Or the so-called prison biography, imaginary and fantasy, what falls within the category of horror drama, etc.), and this is enough to make the actor try other roles, and leave the space of the desert to other, broader and more difficult spaces.
There is no doubt that Shaima mastered her role in general, and succeeded in performing many different situations and psychological states, whether happy or sad, to the point of integrating into the role and assuming the character. She was the one who monopolized the time of the series, appearing, and speaking, and it is certain that this matter requires rehabilitation and keeping up with the director, or rather By (the coach), and a replay of the scene during filming, and this assumes that there are many difficulties facing the artist, which may make her performance uneven and not at a single pace, or with a consistent force of diagnosis.
The artist, Shaima Allawi, remains the beauty of the screen in the series and in Amazigh drama in general, and it is certain that a bright tomorrow awaits her due to the qualifications she possesses, and we expect her to have upcoming participations in different dimensions, as she can reach other frontiers in languages that go beyond the local one to embrace wider and more enjoyable worlds.
