Tradução de teatro: um paradigma a partir do El borde, de Amancay Espíndola

Abstract

In this work, we intend to illustrate a translation method of theatrical texts whose purpose is contemplating various aspects: not only the poetry and form of the text but also its performance and scenic characters. Considering such features, the group—GTT/CNPq, Grupo (de Pesquisa) de Tradução Teatral—has adopted the collaborative process, involving translators, actors and a “translation director.” Such method intends also assessing and implementing the translation theories already developed. We present, to explain our work, a commented translation of the monologue titled El borde, written by the Argentine Amancay Espíndola.
