Abstract

This article analyses “The Breasts of Tiresias” (1903), especially considering the preface and the prologue of the play, both written in 1916, in which Apollinaire reiterates the criticism that was made to the theatrical model at that time and defends theatrical presuppositions fundamental to dramaturgy that developed throughout the twentieth century.
