2022 Glassco Translation Residency

The Glassco Translation Residency in Tadoussac is dedicated to the art of translation for the stage. Throughout its distinguished history, this unique residency has supported the translation of plays into multiple languages including Cantonese, Catalan, Cree, English, French, Innu-aimun, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Tamil, Tagalog and Urdu.

For a period of ten days, the residency gives translators a quiet and pressure-free work environment in which to connect and exchange with the playwright. Set in beautiful Tadoussac, in the Saguenay region of Québec, the residency’s collaborative formula encourages the unearthing of ideas embedded within the scripts-leading to a nuanced and satisfying translation of the work.

Participants are encouraged to deepen their understanding of the art form by contributing to informal discussions around the challenges of translation. Equally rewarding is the rich opportunity for linguistic and cultural exchange, a gateway to strongly forged connections across the country.

Lior spent the 10 day residency in June translating the work of Amélie Dallaire from French into English.
