Abstract

Starting from the function of translation of a drama play for its stage production, we investigate the general process of creating the performance, observing how the act of translation multiplies and actually unfolds in all layers of that process. We concentrate this reflection on the actor's work and his relationship with the director, developing the concept of inner language, to analyze the different translation operations that are used to produce the show and how they work. We show how this dynamic of translation feeds acting creativity, allows to penetrate the inner world of the actor and generates cyclical regimes that transform translation work into an infinite task.
