Abstract

The article focuses on the psychophysical dynamics of direction in the intracultural context. It is stated that the act of direction becomes possible only through the inventionist presence and bilingualism of the translator. Inevitably, circuitous acts of direction through translation can be painfully slow, if not tortuous, yet these acts can be enormously beneficial in opening the theatrical process to multiple and unprecedented trajectories of meaning. It is further noted that multiple struggles not only did the performance come alive but incandescent, self-realization enabled to understand that the act of translation in theater can never afford the lesson learned from everyday life.
