me age 76, 50 some years into societal collapse, dressed like a soothsayer, sitting around a fire and explaining the clown box bit from MBMBAM to a group of young people who lap up my words like they’re honey
years after my death the youngest of my 12 daughters adapts the stories i told (the garfield monstrosity, glass shark, the final pam, et.) into interpretive plays told with intricately directed wooden masks like greek theatre and dancing like elizabethan theatre yet realistic dialogue like mid-century contemporary theatre that accidentally become the folklore-ish mythology of our survival settlement and the brothers mcelroy become ancient gods and i become the new world’s homer, not only cementing their immortality, but my own
taz balance is the new beowulf, transcribed by my great grandson
not to butt in too much but there’s a play about this exact concept, complete with crazy masks and retellings that are supposed to explore how stories become culture & folklore over time, but with the simpson’s epsiode Cape Feare as the only surviving piece of media. quite fucking literally “the world’s new homer” lol.
it’s called Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play
