:These are samples from one of two video tapes made at the performance. Captions correspond roughly to the scenes according to the [[Ayer_Collection_0028|stage directions]], which were based loosely on the headings in Satie's score.
:The West End costumes of <em>Toujours Perdrix</em> fame made a guest appearance. Produce was in the air. Liberties were taken throughout the performance&mdash;though the film score was followed as faithfully as the Ensemble's abilities allowed&mdash;and there was plenty of cleanup required afterwards.
