- The Ensemble recast Erik Satie's notorious ballet instantanéiste as an improvised bachelor party, accompanying René Clair's film Entr'acte at the interval. The elements of the poster—largely ripped off from Satie's own work—include a plastic milk jug; latex-covered milk jugs were an integral part of the makeup for the male performers, each of whom had an extra handle plus six inches of added height during the show.
