La statue retrouvée

La statue retrouvée (The Discovered Statue) is a short composition for organ and trumpet by Erik Satie. Commissioned as a danced pièce d'occasion, it was originally set to a scenario by Jean Cocteau and featured choreography by Léonide Massine and costumes designed by Pablo Picasso. Its only performance in this form took place in Paris on May 30, 1923. The work is notable for reuniting the creative team behind Serge Diaghilev's landmark 1917 ballet Parade. Today only Satie's music survives.
