The Translator's Kitchen (I)

Within the frame of the Translators kitchen two sessions were organised in order to make the translation process more visible: the first one from a technical perspective, and the second one from the perspective of Bertsolarism (i.e. the oral improvisation of Basque verse).

The first session took place on September 30, International Translation Day, in the Graduation Hall of the Faculty of Arts in Vitoria-Gasteiz. This session was specially addressed to students and lecturers of the Faculty, although anyone interested in the subject was also invited to participate. The translator of the play, Juan Garzia, was assisted by two more experts: Larraitz Ariznabarreta, specialist in Shakespeare's work, and Maialen Berasategi, basque translator. Juan Garzia prepared a series of materials (in Basque) for the session, which are available on EIZIE's website.
