The Breasts of Tiresias
Thérèse becomes Tiresias and the social order of Zanzibar is turned on its head in this 21st-century take on Guillaume Apollinaire’s classic 1903 play. Reimagined as a vivid animated short, this surrealist fever dream becomes a playground to explore and subvert ideas about gender and sexuality, reproduction, and race.
