Together with the creative team and actors, we create our own surreal world based on the principle of associations, its logic sometimes more than we would like to resemble the one that surrounds us.G. In Apollinaire's work, the blue-faced figure Tereza rebels against her husband. She grows a beard and mustache and shouts about how masculine she feels. Tereza becomes Teiresia (a figure of a blind prophet in Greek myths), so Tereza's husband decides to bear children himself, and at the end of the play, Tereza returns to the one from whom she fled.
"When reading the play, I was strongly influenced by two things: the representation of a woman as strong only when she is a man, the comparison of a woman to her womb, and perhaps most strongly - Teresa's return to her husband. I want to immerse the audience in a kaleidoscopic, associative choreographic dream. I am interested in creating a play as a stage poem. I want to return Teresa to her husband once again, to meet the older Teresa and her to ask: would she regret this step? It becomes an almost insurmountable rhetorical question related to the imposed social constructs. Due to the strong feminist position, there is always a tear in the epicenter of this work. I do not say that I doubt it, so for the first time I feel hope.
I want "Teiresia's breast" (I am amputating one breast for Apollinaire without remorse) to be a dialogue about sexuality, dissident sexuality, the right to one's body. We must constantly fight for the right to our own bodies, because they also have a public dimension. The body, as the most radical form of our modernity in the theater and beyond, is today's social phenomenon, a battlefield. In the performance, it becomes the main space for us to raise questions using the merciless metaphor of war," says director Laura Kutkaitė.
