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

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 C\u00f4te-Nord region of Qu\u00e9bec, the residency\u2019s collaborative approach encourages the unearthing of ideas embedded within the plays \u2013 leading to a nuanced and generative translation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les participants sont encourag\u00e9s \u00e0 approfondir leur connaissance de l\u2019expression artistique par l\u2019entremise de discussions informelles sur les d\u00e9fis de la traduction. La richesse des \u00e9changes linguistiques et culturels est tout aussi gratifiante et repr\u00e9sente une porte d\u2019entr\u00e9e qui permet de tisser des liens solides aux quatre coins du pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plays submitted should currently be in the process of being translated. It is preferable that the project have committed interest from a theatre company for a possible production. The play should ideally have had a production in its original language. Both the playwright and the translator must be available to attend the residency together.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This residency was first imagined in 1998, when William \u201cBill\u201d Glassco opened the doors of his family home, Fletcher Cottage, to translators and playwrights. Skilfully led and sculpted by Linda Gaboriau for over a decade, the residency blossomed into the exceptional program it is today. She was followed in her efforts by translator Bobby Theodore, who seamlessly continued to build on her legacy. After having participated in the residency as a translator several times, Maryse Warda stepped into the translation dramaturg role in 2022, bringing her wealth of experience and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, the residency has translated 81 plays:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
