Die Brüste des Teiresias
March 15, 2026, 2:00pm
Gender norms pop like balloons in The Breasts of Tiresias, Poulenc and Apollinaire’s bawdy surrealist romp. Frustrated with the life of a housewife, Tiresias sheds her breasts and becomes the male General Tirésias. As she leads a new life fighting distant wars on foreign battlefields, her stay-at-home husband discovers a way to make babies on his own — but not just one: 40,049 of them. This delightfully sugar-coated pill coats the sublime in the ridiculous.
