The Influence of Russian Ballets in the 20th Century: L’Homme sans yeux, sans nez et sans oreilles by José Soler Casabón and Parade by Érik Satie

Sandra Soler Campo, Juan Jurado Bracero

Abstract


This article aims at providing a broad appraisal of the figure of José Soler Casabón through
one of his main compositions, L'homme sans yeux, sans nez at sans oreilles (Ho.S.Y.N.O.), a ballet
based on the poem Le musicien de Saint Merry written by Guillaume Apollinaire with sets by Pablo
Picasso. Parade by Erik Satie and Ho.S.Y.N.O. by Soler Casabón, are two ballets created in 1917.
The difference between the two works lies in the fate suffered by each as a result of the outbreak of
the First World War, which prevented one of them from being performed. Soler Casabón spent the
rest of his life trying to have the work see the light of day, but without any success.

Keywords: Guillaume Apollinaire, ballet, José Soler Casabón, Paris, Érik Satie, Parade.
