The Breasts of Tirésias (1982)

Directed by Jean-Christophe Averty

· 56m

In a surreal staging, Thérèse indignantly refuses her role as procreator. In a gesture of revolt, she gets rid of her breasts and renames herself Tirésias. To populate Zanzibar, her husband must have children. With a prologue written by Guillaume Apollinaire, this avant-garde play from 1917 bears witness to the first impulses of feminism.
