With music by Erik Satie, costumes and set by Pablo Picasso, script by Jean Cocteau, and choreography by Nijinsky’s successor, Léonide Massine, Parade was first performed by the Ballets Russes at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris in 1917. To commemorate the centennial of the premiere, Jérémie Belingard, Shibuya Keiichiro, and Justine Emard have created a fresh interpretation where body, music, and video blend together in harmonious layers.
