Director: Andreas Mitisek; based on a play by Guillaume Apollinaire
Tired of domestic bliss, Thérèse sprouts a beard, sheds her breasts like deflating balloons, and transforms into a man. Her husband? Left clutching the apron strings while birthing thousands of babies in a single day. Surrealistic characters populate the fictional city of Zanzibar in Poulenc's 1944 farce that plunders French musical history with razor-sharp melodies and cabaret flair. This gleefully unhinged, gender-swapping spectacle delivers both outrageous comedy and a profound commentary on the madness of human nature—opera buffa at its most wickedly subversive.
