On the rooftops of Paris, Erik Satie and Francis Picabia leap back and forth over a cannon. A shell explodes. What follows is a series of Dada-inspired images: a bearded dancer, a Tyrolean hunter, a hearse pulled by a camel, followed by a crowd of grotesque figures that picks up speed and runs wild.

4K restoration in 2019 at the Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in Bologna, with support from the CNC. Based on the Pathé film negative and an original print from the Fondazione Cineteca Italiana (Milan).

Erik Satie composed the original musical score for the film and the ballet *Relâche*. The DCP includes a recording of the original music.
