This collection provides an in-depth exploration of surtitling for
theatre and its potential in enhancing accessibility and creativity
in both the production and reception of theatrical performances.
The volume collects the latest research on surtitling, which
encompasses translating lyrics or sections of dialogue and
projecting them on a screen. While most work has focused on opera,
this book showcases how it has increasingly played a role in
theatre by examining examples from well-known festivals and
performances. The 11 chapters underscore how the hybrid nature and
complex semiotic modes of theatrical texts, coupled with
technological advancements, offer a plurality of possibilities for
applying surtitling effectively across different contexts. The book
calls attention to the ways in which agents in theatrical spaces
need to carefully reflect on the role of surtitling in order to
best serve the needs of diverse audiences and produce inclusive
productions, from translators considering appropriate strategies to
directors working on how to creatively employ it in performance to
companies looking into all means available for successful
implementation. Offering a space for interdisciplinary dialogues on
surtitling in theatre, this book will be of interest to scholars in
audiovisual translation, media accessibility, and theatre and
performance studies.
