Description: 
At the same time [as the non performance of Patins à roulettes (Roller Skates), editor's note], Armand and I had organized a picnic at the Rialto movie theater, in the middle of the screening of I no longer remember which film. We had metallic cutlery, real plates and real cooked dishes. We had to make noise. We got expelled, but the people of the theater were nice because they reimbursed our tickets because we had not seen the film. But there again it was not a performance. It was only a practical joke to have fun and kill boredom.
