MIDNIGHT MOVIE

by Eve Leigh

Banner of the world premiere at the Royal Court Theatre, London.

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.

ITHAKA by Andrea Stolowitz now in German

Throughout 2013-2016, US playwright Andrea Stolowitz saw three productions of her play ITHAKA in Vancouver, Chicago and Portland (OR), and won the Artists Repertory Theater’s award and the Oregan Book Award in Drama. In 2014, the play and the playwright were presented in a staged reading by Drama Panorama.

The play is now available in German translation and for a German language premiere.

Watch & Write

The international theatre festival Theaterformen, this year hosted in Braunschweig, partnered with the theatre portal nachtkritik.de to report about the productions presented in the framework of the festival. Writers with different working languages compose essays, interviews, and reviews about the productions or the thematic subjects that surface throughout the festival.

The required translations from Macedonian, Portuguese, or from German into English are provided by Bochert Translations.

Blogger at Theaterformen

Since last year’s edition, the international theater festival Theaterformen runs a blog with an editorial team of its own to accompany the festival with thematic and critical contributions. The articles are composed, among other languages, in German, Arabic, or French.

The translations into and from these languages are provided by Bochert Translations.

Theaterformen Festival – the Blog

From 08-18 June, the annual theatre festival THEATERFORMEN took place in Hannover. Productions from Belgium, South Africa, Slovenia, Sweden, the U.S.A., Mexico, France, Italy, and other countries were invited. This year, the festival direction decided to not only offer magazines and material about the plays, but also to run a festival blog  for bloggers to describe and announce festival contributions and events and publish interviews in various languages.

The translations for this blog were accomplished by Bochert Translations.
