| | The Breasts of Tiresias
Music by Francis Poulenc and Lyics by Gillaume Apollinaiare
Gender norms pop like balloons in The Breasts of Tiresias, Poulenc and Appollinaire's bawdy surrealist romp. Frustrated with the life of a housewife, Tiresias sheds her breasts and becomes the male General Tirésias. As she leads a new life fighting distant wars on foreign battlefields, her stay-at-home husband discovers a way to make babies on his own - but not just one: 40,049 of them. This delightfully sugar-coated pill coats the sublime in the ridiculous. | Buy tickets |
| | Room of Forgotten Souls
an original, ensemble-devised performance
In 2004, a tour group discovered a locked room in the Oregon State Hospital crematorium, filled with thousands of decaying copper canisters holding the remains of over 4,000 former patients. Abandoned or forgotten, these individuals sparked a movement to honor the lost. Inspired by this haunting discovery, the Willamette University Theatre ensemble will create Room of Forgotten Souls—an original, ensemble-devised performance exploring memory, loss, mental health, and recognition. | Buy tickets |
