Moving Target offers a rigorous exploration of the practice of
translating for the theatre. The twelve essays in the volume span a
range of work from Eastern and Western Europe, Canada and the
United States. For the first time, this book draws together
existing translation theory with contemporary practice to shed
light on a hitherto neglected aspect of the production process. How
does the theatre translator mediate between source text,
performance text and target audience? What happens when theatre is
transposed from one culture to another? What are the obstacles to
theatre translation, and what are the opportunities? Central to the
debate throughout is the role of the translator in creating not
only a linguistic text but also a performance text, as the
contributors repeatedly demonstrate an illuminating sensibility to
the demands and potential of theatre production. Impacting upon
areas of (inter)cultural theory as well as theatre studies and
translation studies, the result is a startling revelation of the
joys, as well as the frustrations of the dramatic art of the
translator for performance.
