===1921: ''Les mariés de la tour Eiffel''===
In 1921, five of the members jointly composed the music for Cocteau's ballet ''[[Les mariés de la tour Eiffel]]'', which was produced by the [[Ballets suédois]], the rival to the Ballets Russes. Cocteau had originally proposed the project to Auric, but as Auric did not finish rapidly enough to fit into the rehearsal schedule, he then divided the work up among the other members of Les Six. Durey, who was not in Paris at the time, chose not to participate. The première was the occasion of a public scandal rivalling that of ''[[The Rite of Spring|Le sacre du printemps]]'' in 1913. In spite of this, ''Les mariés de la tour Eiffel'' was in the repertoire of the Ballets suédois throughout the 1920s.
