You're Not their Favorite Teacher

From program annotations by Joachim Frank:
"Ed Atkeson displays drawings on a giant flipboard, which narrow down on Alfred Jarry's mysterious existence.
To his call "yougotto" the audience responds with "ayooh," (Jo's quaint spelling is "ajoo,") an uttering in a certain part of Germany meaning affirmative, uncritical inclination towards a matter brought up. Ed has just been in Germany, which explains the importation of this unimportable word into the Halfmoon Cafe."

In the last days your old will see visions, your young will dream dreams, beautiful women will ride motorscooters through the streets of Florence with their knees tight together.
In those days Joe Tex will foretell the coming of Diana Ross.
And there will appear a star
here he is sleeping alone in his tiny room in Paris.
The interior is strewn with bicycle innertubes and patch kits,
revolvers, ammunition, works of Moliere,
parts of a broken fencing sword,
a largish toilet brush.YouGOTto

Here is a closeup
of the corona of the Jarry eclipse,
new studies of which have spurred pataphysical research such as
the nature of the surface tension of large expanses
of asphalt paving designated bythe symbol,
the remarkably parallel spirit of proud bewilderment found in
the exasperation of St Peter, and certain
expressions of contemporary pataphysicians, for example
