Tradução teatral e códigos expressivos

This article analyzes some complexities found in the translation of theatrical texts, proposing a history of the theories that discussed the theme. From the concept of “performativity” will be discussed procedures that guide the translator of a text that, although written, is intended for representation, thus differentiating the scenic text from the dramatic. The stage, when treated as a space of purpose, as well as the actors and the public, as fundamental to the understanding of the dramatic text, point out considerations that, in the translation experience, are present in the context in which the translated text will be staged.
