What motivates a Japanese translator and theatre company to
translate and perform a play about racial discrimination in the
American South? What happens to a 'gay' play when it is staged in a
country where the performance of gender is a theatrical tradition?
What are the politics of First Nations or Aboriginal theatre in
Japanese translation and 'colour blind' casting? Is a Canadian no
drama that tells a story of the Japanese diaspora a performance in
cultural appropriation or dramatic innovation? In looking for
answers to these questions, Theatre Translation Theory and
Performance in Contemporary Japan extends discussions of theatre
translation through a selective investigation of six Western plays,
translated and staged in Japan since the 1960s, with marginalized
tongues and bodies at their core. The study begins with an
examination of James Baldwin's Blues for Mister Charlie, followed
by explorations of Michel Marc Bouchard's Les feluettes ou La
repetition d'un drame romantique, Tomson Highway's The Rez Sisters
and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing, Roger Bennett's Up the
Ladder, and Daphne Marlatt's The Gull: The Steveston t Noh Project.
Native Voices, Foreign Bodies locates theatre translation theory
and practice in Japan in the post-war Showa and Heisei eras and
provokes reconsideration of Western notions about the complex
interaction of tongues and bodies in translation and theatre when
they travel and are reconstituted under different cultural
conditions.
