RelcheRelche is French for "cancellation". Relche was the name Erik Satie and his surrealist (former Dada) friends gave to the ultimate ballet production in which Satie was involved as composer. A one-time flavour of surrealism was invented for the production, which was named "instantanisme". The name of the ballet was a kind of practical joke: "Relche" was the usual word to be found on posters announcing performances, in the case of a last minute cancellation of such performance - which was kind of bizarre for a production that was not cancelled. See also Entr'acte, for a further description of the music of this ballet. A 21st century music ensemble also took the name Relche.
