In June 2020, an initiative of 300 theatermakers in the U. S. published a statement adressing the “White American Theater” and quoting August Wilson’s historical 1996 speech. For publication of the statement in the July 2020 edition of the Theater heute magazine, Bochert Translations translated this statement into German.
by Eve Leigh
A lonely voice sleepless in front of the Internet, at night. New tab – a man in the bathtub. New tab – a young woman inside a watertank. New tab – a girl on the tracks.
Eve Leigh’s dream – or nightmare – about the solitude of pain, about digital bodies as (questionable) freedom from one’s own limited body, about handicaps, accessibility, force and personal freedom, premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London in November/December 2019.
Commissioned by Rowohl Theater Verlag, Bochert Translations translates this fascinating text by the British-American playwright into German.
