Dramatic Reading of the First Section of the Children’s Abridged Edition 🎙️🎭📚
In this episode of MDNTMRKTVOX, we present a dramatic reading of the first section of the children’s abridged edition of DSMSSED CLWNS (DISMISSED CLOWNS), a slave fable shaped by memory, warning, myth, and survival. This reading offers listeners an early entry into the world of the text, where the language of parable meets the pressure of history, and where the child’s ear becomes one of the most serious places a story can land.
This is not a softened telling. It is a distilled one.
The children’s abridged edition keeps the emotional architecture of the original work while carrying it through a clearer, younger register. What remains is the strangeness, the caution, the ache, the humor at the edge of harm, and the old ritual of telling a story that means more than it first appears to say. Like any real fable worth keeping around, it speaks in two directions at once: toward innocence and toward inheritance.
In this opening section, listeners are invited into the first movements of DSMSSED CLWNS, where performance, dignity, fear, and memory begin to gather shape. The reading lets the work do what it was always meant to do in part: live in the mouth, live in breath, live in the air between speaker and listener. Because some stories do not fully arrive until they are heard aloud. Tragic for the page, maybe, but good for the soul of the thing.
This episode is both a preview and an invocation. A threshold. A first sounding.

About the work
DSMSSED CLWNS (DISMISSED CLOWNS) is a slave fable concerned with spectacle, survival, inherited performance, and the uneasy remains left behind when a people are forced to wear masks for too long. The children’s abridged edition re-voices that burden through image, rhythm, and clarity, preserving the seriousness of the material while making it newly audible to younger listeners and to the adults responsible for what children are asked to carry.
