Summary/Abstract: A record of the meeting which took place on 10 March 2013 at the Contemporary Theatre in Wrocław the day after Valley, a play directed by Agnieszka Olsten. Olga Tokarczyk talks about the process of writing her novel Drive Your Plough over the Bones of the Dead (which became the basis of the script for Valley), concentrating on the pitfalls lurking in the raising of the issue of the relationship between people and animals. She also comments on her book’s use of crime fiction conventions and its controversial ending. By way of contrast, Igor Stokfiszewski (playwright and co-creator of the script for Valley) talks about the rehearsals for the play, which mainly involved communing and interacting with the dogs invited to take part in the play: Kolo, Santos and Wena. He also explains why he and the director decided to change the final part of their stage adaptation of the book.
