 His one-act prose comedy "La Comtesse d'Escarbagnas" premiered in December 1671 at the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye as part of a larger entertainment referred to as the "Ballet des Ballets".The play recycled musical episodes from several of Molière's earlier "comédies-ballets", including "La pastorale comique", "George Dandin", "Le Bourgeois gentilhomme", and "Psyché".It "has sometimes been characterized as little more than a platform for songs and dances."
