- ↑ This refers to the ballet Parade, based on a composition by Jean Cocteau, music by Erik Satie, choreography by Léonide Massine, sets and costumes by Pablo Picasso, which was very badly received. The scenery represented an urban design in cubist style. An acrobat wore blue and white tights. The programme for the first performances included texts by Apollinaire and Léon Bakst (Jean Cocteau, Entre Picasso et Radiguet, Paris, 1967, p. 69-71). Photographs of the performance are held in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum: see one of the photographs showing the acrobat and his tights with white astragals. A reconstruction, faithful to the original choreography, musical score, scenery and costumes, was attempted (Susanna Della Pietra, 2008). [PK, CSz, NM]
