This article summarizes the biography of José Soler Casabón, an Aragonese composer who lived and developed his artistic career during the first decades of the 20th century between Barcelona and Paris. From the different works of the author, the Ballet L'homme sans yeux sans nez et sans oreilles (HOSYNO) will be described. This ballet was based on the poem Le musician de Saint Merry written by the french poet Guillaume Apollinaire and its sets were commissioned to Pablo Picasso. For various reasons, such as the war context and the change of the director of the opera house in Paris, the ballet was never performed.
