Biography

A pioneering Kuwaiti actress, Aisha Ibrahim was born in 1944. She moved with her family to the Sharq neighborhood in Kuwait. She studied in Jibla and later attended high school, though she did not complete her graduation. In 1959, she joined the Girls’ Training Institute under the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, where she studied for three years. Her passion for theater grew during this time. After attending a stage performance, she expressed her desire to act to the renowned Mohamed El Nashmy, but he initially declined her request. Undeterred, Aisha made her stage debut in 1963 in the play "Her Luck Breaks the Rock" (حظها يكسر الصخر). She transitioned to television and hosted the program "Diwaniyah TV", directed by Khaled Al Siddiq. In late 1974, she co-founded the Free Theater group alongside other artists, contributing significantly to Kuwaiti theater, television, and radio. In February 1977, she was honored with the Shield of the First Arab Theater Star. Later, she received the Best Actress in a Leading Role award for her performance in the play "If the Camel Falls" at the first local theater festival in Kuwait. She passed away in September 1992, leaving behind a legacy of artistic excellence.
