Satie et Cocteau: A Rehearsal of a Play of a Composer by a Poet

Satie et Cocteau: A Rehearsal of a Play of a Composer by a Poet

Athenaeum Theatre
2936 N. Southport Chicago

The play is set 15 years after the death of Satie during the final rehearsal of a play which Cocteau has written and where, in an opium haze, he directs an Actor in a series of 'scenes' which run the length of Satie's life and career. Intertwined with Satie's music, we discover that Cocteau's intentions are for the Actor to fully embody Satie and bring him to life so Cocteau can finally exorcise him from his life.
