A pantomime-ballet built around Satie's three short musical movements, with bouncy, jaunty rhythms and humorous, naive character. The ballet's scenario has not survived, so its plot cannot be summarized from this page.
The comically surreal play follows Baron Méduse, his daughter Frisette, her suitor Astolpho, and the Baron’s valet Polycarpe through misunderstandings and non sequiturs, accompanied by a mechanical monkey named Jonas dancing to intermittent music. It ends with the protagonists embracing.
Martine, mistreated by her husband Sganarelle, tells two servants that he is a doctor who must be beaten before he will practice. Forced into the role, Sganarelle is taken to treat Lucinde, who is pretending to be mute to avoid an unwanted marriage; he helps her and her lover Léandre arrange an elopement, and Léandre's new inheritance appeases her father Géronte.
A two-part ballet structured around Satie's music: the earthier Monotones I uses the Gnossiennes for two women and one man, while the celestial Monotones II uses the Gymnopédies for two men and one woman.
Parade is a ballet choreographed by Leonide Massine, with music by Erik Satie and a one-act scenario by Jean Cocteau. The ballet was composed in 1916–17 for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. The ballet premiered on Friday, May 18, 1917, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, with costumes and sets designed by Pablo Picasso, choreography by Léonide Massine (who danced), and the orchestra conducted by Ernest Ansermet.
A Dadaist 'ballet obscène' by Francis Picabia with music by Erik Satie, presented with René Clair's nonsensical film Entr'acte during the intermission. The article gives no narrative plot.
