Parade

"Realistic ballet" by ERIK SATIE, 1917, premiered in Paris. It was in the form of a vaudeville show, a series of disconnected scenes, with imitations of early JAZZ. With the collaboration of playwright Jean Cocteau and artist Pablo Picasso (whose designs are decidedly cubist), Satie created a model for dadaist art while inspiring almost as much of an uproar as IGOR STRAVINSKY'S THE RITE OF SPRING did in 1913.
