The deceased was born in Tunis in 1948. He accompanied his father, a well-known bookseller in Bab Souika and the manager of the Ramses Café and the Zitouna Hotel, where writers, artists, and theater people met. This created a rich cultural environment that shaped Fadhel Al-Jaziri's personality from an early age.

He was educated at Al-Sadiqiya College, where he joined the school's drama troupe alongside prominent figures who later became icons of Tunisian culture, such as Abdel Raouf Al-Basti and Raouf Ben Omar. He also studied drawing with the artist Zubeir Al-Turki, and Arabic with Mohsen Ben Abdullah and Ahmed Larbi.

Al-Jaziri was a student and political activist, participating in the 1968 demonstrations and strikes at the Faculty of Arts, before traveling to London to continue his artistic education. Upon his return, he helped establish the Southern Theatre in Gafsa in 1972, and then the New Theatre of Tunis in 1976 with his longtime friend Fadhel Jaibi. Together, they presented timeless theatrical works such as The Wedding, The Washer of Rarities, and Arab and Al-Karita.

Fadhel Jaziri also left his mark on cinema, appearing as an actor in Mahmoud Ben Mahmoud's Traversi (Crossing), Abdellatif Ben Ammar's Sejnane, and Roberto Rossellini's El Misia. In film directing, he presented his distinguished film Thirty in 2007. In musical theater, his name is associated with performances that marked milestones in the history of Tunisian music, such as El Nouba (1991), El Hadra (1992), and El Hadra (2010).

Among his most recent works is the distinguished show "Al-Hadra 2," which he presented in several renewed versions over the years, and the show "Al-Mahfal," which graced the opening of the Carthage International Festival in the summer of 2023.

Another of his latest creations was the exciting theatrical performance "My Dear Grant," which was presented yesterday at the Hammamet International Festival, a true embodiment of his deep loyalty to the theater and his passion for art until his final days.
