In a deeply personal performance, actress Alexandra Ousta co-directs and stars in ‘The Lemon Tree’, a play by Giannis Kentrotas. The narrative, inspired by tapes recorded by Ousta’s mother in the 1970s while living in Saudi Arabia, delves into themes of deception and emotional struggles. Through the protagonist’s reflections, the play highlights the façade of happiness and the societal pressures faced by women of that era. Premiering on November 23 at Theatre 104 in Athens, the work invites audiences to uncover buried truths about personal and generational sacrifices.
