Our society is a postmigrant society. It has changed again and again due to countless waves of migration, has become richer and more diverse as a result and is shaped by the coexistence of lots of languages and language regions that mutually influence each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is this situation reflected in today’s theatre? The German theatre is the child of nationalism. But for a while now, the narrative of the national theatre is being rewritten. Are multilingual productions a possible answer to our postnational social reality? For what purpose are multiple languages used and what effect do they have? How are multilingual plays written? And how are they translated?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At our evening event, we will talk to theatre-makers who are creating new and groundbreaking models of multilingualism for the stage, and read from multilingual plays. In the workshop we will talk to writers and translators working in multiple languages, analyse linguistic aspects of the topic and discuss the texts with the selected participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second day is planned as a workshop for registered participants: in the morning Barbora Schnelle and Henning Bochert will talk to Sivan Ben Yishai and Georgia Doll who use several languages in their writing about how they work. The two authors represent different approaches to and models of working with multiple languages, which they will explore together with the workshop participants. The translatability of plays like these and the relationship to language transfer for the stage will also be a central focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon, Lydia Nagel will give a talk about translating multilingual texts from a linguistic perspective and will work with the selected participants on their texts. Ideas from the discussions with the writers will also be taken into consideration here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together we will summarise our results and have a final closing discussion. The day will end with a few drinks together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
