New Translations”: We’re looking for current translations of plays into German!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

We’re looking for current translations of plays that are adaptations or new versions of ancient myths or rework mythical material for our new festival and book project\u00a0Ancient Myths. New Translations<\/em>, which is planned for 2025-2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival will include six staged readings, panel discussions and meet-ups between authors and translators over one weekend. In particular, we’re looking for plays that use mythical material in order to address new\/old conflicts, generational change and important political and social issues from a critical perspective. The aim is to show the great diversity of themes and aesthetics in international contemporary drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions that particularly interest us are: What role do \u2018fiction\u2019 and \u2018myth\u2019 play on stage today after the post-dramatic era? What does it mean to put oneself in the role of another (perhaps archetypal) character instead of using one’s own biography or theoretical ideas as a starting point? What myths from other cultures exist that are less familiar to us and what do they have in common?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with researching, presenting and publishing new plays, the focus will be on questions of translation that arise in this context: How can intertextuality, adaptations and the phenomenon of \u2018d\u00e9j\u00e0-lu\u2019 be taken into account in theatre translations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally the plays submitted should be already translated into German (or almost finished). Plays that have already been published in the book series Drama Panorama \u2013 Neue internationale Theatertexte <\/em>and plays that are more than ten years old will not be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book series Drama Panorama \u2013 Neue internationale Theatertexte<\/em> presents contemporary plays in German translation and is published by Neofelis Verlag in collaboration with Drama Panorama: Forum f\u00fcr \u00dcbersetzung und Theater e. V.. Eight anthologies of plays<\/a> have been published to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to submissions by the 16th of September 2024 to: Charlotte Bomy <\/strong>charlotte.bomy@drama-panorama.com<\/strong><\/a> and Anna Galt <\/strong>anna.galt@drama-panorama.com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
