Jaka Smerkolj Simoneti visited the second season of participatory reading performances of the text Work and the Girl I-V Drama of the Serfs by Nika Švab. In his essay, he reflects on the development of a specific dramatic text, while placing this reflection in a broader context. Thus, among other things, it deals with the ills of Slovenian drama production and questions the common expectations that dramatic texts should be written in isolation, rather than in a processual and collective development.
