The score for the show was written for a musical version of The Satyricon, which was written for the Stratford Festival in Ontario, where there was a production in 1969. When it seemed that the Satyricon musical was not going to be produced again, composer Stanley Silverman, presumably with the approval of Satyricon lyricist Tom Hendry, gave the songs to Richard Foreman with the suggestion that he create a new show around them. Using Marcel Duchamp as his inspiration, Foreman created a surrealistic musical set in a madhouse.
