The Breasts of Tiresias (French: Les mamelles de Tirésias) is a surrealist play by Guillaume Apollinaire.
Written in 1903, the play received its first production in a revised version subtitled Drame surréaliste[1] in 1917.
[2] With this subtitle and in the preface to the play, the poet invented the word "surrealism" to describe his new style of drama.
In 2010, Eric "Wally" Wallach adapted and directed The Breasts of Tiresias: A Surrealist Musical in Paris.
Inspired by the story of the Theban soothsayer Teiresias, the author inverted the myth to produce a provocative interpretation with feminist and pacifist elements.
