Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Quick Info

Based on the novel by Olga Tokarczuk
Directed by Simon McBurney
Co-production with Complicité
German Premiere
I see the Earth in eclipse. I see us moving about blindly in
eternal Gloom, like May bugs trapped in a box by a cruel child. It’s
easy to harm and injure us, to smash up our intricately assembled,
bizarre existence… I see nothing but Catastrophes. But as the Fall is
the beginning, can we possibly fall even lower?’ - Janina Duszejko, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
Based on Nobel Prize winning author Olga Tokarczuk’s novel of the same name, Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead is
a new work for theatre conceived and directed by Simon McBurney.
Tokarczuk’s controversial, violent, genre defying novel – part thriller,
part comedy, and part blistering poetic manifesto for the rights
of animals and the environment – caused an uproar in its native Poland
upon publication.
