Recipe for Poisson d'Avril

Do this:
- have audience tear up words
- Tzara-fy words; mix up, have audience reassemble into delicious cut-up poems
- have audience read their poems-- together, individually, etc. Record this action
- take everyone outside when a good five or ten minutes of this has been recorded
- jump into car w/ a friend, leaving audience standing there. Have friend video process of playing back the poems in the car stereo
- maybe go get a beer, smoke a cigarette, put on the flashy light, wear a dumb hat, comment a lot
- return to space; play back video on projector
- perform along w/ video
- admit that you stole the entire performance from the following:
Tristan Tzara
Mattin
PCRV
Alfred Jarry
