An in-depth and candid interview with the grande dame of the theater

We take a brief break from our series on artists to meet Despoina Bebedeli, the grand dame of the theater.

We meet her at her home, surrounded by photographs and memories, where she now lives and is writing her autobiography.

She answers 10 questions, recalls the first time she was enchanted by the theater, her difficult childhood years during the war, the roles she has played, talks about what the arts have deprived her of, her decision to retire from the stage after 64 years, and addresses each viewer individually.
