🎙 PODCAST SHOW NOTES (ABRIDGED READING)

Title:SHIVA or 7 Days Waste — Abridged Working Reading (MDNTMRKTVOX)

Description:This episode presents the first recorded reading of SHIVA or 7 Days Waste—an abridged working edition of a developing theatrical piece.

This is not the final play.This is not even the play as it will exist on stage.

This is the threshold version—where language leaves the page and begins to resist its own author.

What You’re Hearing

A raw vocal rendering of the opening monologue

A text still in motion, not yet shaped by actors, directors, or stage design

A script in its skeletal form—before breath, timing, and embodiment complicate it

Why This Matters

Theater is not written to be read.It is written to be heard, held, and altered.

This recording captures the moment where:

private language becomes public sound

internal rhythm meets external resistance

intention begins to fail productively

Core Themes

Destruction as repetition, not spectacle

Time as rotation, not progression

Memory as residue, not narrative

Performance as betrayal of text

What’s Missing (On Purpose)

This version does not yet include:

Actor interpretation

Directorial intervention

Physical staging

Environmental tension

Those absences are not gaps.They are future collaborators waiting to arrive.

Closing Note

This is a working edition.It will change.It should change.

If it doesn’t—then something has gone wrong.
