Summary/Abstract: In this contribution, we will try to address a problem of semio-pragmatic interpretation of Amazigh statements (Ka-byle) conveyed by the 4th art: theater. Indeed, the Amazigh theater is a young and fragile theater, despite very laud-able initiatives in many respects. Today, one of the politico-ideological means among which the citizen tries to claim a rule of law. The theatrical piece, which we could be worth trying to analyse partially here, is written by Mohand Ait Ighil. It-s called “Taẓelmaţ texser, tayeffust ur terbiḥ ara” (The left is in check, the right is no more). It fits into the dramatic type. The author attemps to schematize the end of a power that of the Algerian state, whatever its ideo-logical options. By the way, this is a text that revolves around Machiavellian methods where the end justifies the means. During this analysis, it will be a question of grasping through a micro-textual and/or semio-pragmatics approach the signs used to signify. By the way, theatrical studies follow in the wake of specific semiotics. Thus, we question the way in which the author tries to expose through theater the teaching of the Machiavellian office in the circumstances of municipal votes in Algeria.
