The Glassco Translation Residency<\/a> in Tadoussac is taking place from June 18th to the 29th!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Known for encouraging rich, nuanced works, the Glassco Translation Residency fosters a thoughtful and generative translation process, grounded in collaboration and the deep exploration of the ideas woven into each play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unique au pays, cette r\u00e9sidence, qui a lieu dans l\u2019historique Maison Fletcher \u00e0 Tadoussac, au Qu\u00e9bec, donne aux traducteurs le temps, l\u2019espace et le soutien dramaturgique n\u00e9cessaires pour la traduction d\u2019une pi\u00e8ce de th\u00e9\u00e2tre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program plays a vital role in Canada\u2019s theatre-making landscape, and we\u2019re pleased to announce this year\u2019s playwright-translator pairs. You can click on each resident’s photo to learn more about their work.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naomi learns that her son Theo has been accused of sexual assault. Meanwhile, childhood friends Sebastian and Vincent must revisit an event from twenty-five years ago, in a time they barely remember but which the women in their lives won\u2019t let them forget. R\u00e9becca D\u00e9raspe\u2019s signature passion and unexpected wit abound in this Prix Michel-Tremblay-winning play which looks head-on at our notions of consent, probing where our loyalties actually lie when the harshest of accusations lands on one of our own. In translating D\u00e9raspe\u2019s LES GLACES [English-language title RIVER ICE, BREAKING] for Talisman Theatre, Leanna Brodie renews a collaboration that has produced GAMETES, YOU ARE HAPPY, and I AM WILLIAM.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\nshow less<\/mark><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Colorado, 2250. Lomond is a Seeker; because of a genetic mutation, he is able to see, feel and share others\u2019 memories. When the army invites him to take part in a special mission whose full scope he has yet to discover, Lomond finds himself reunited with his ex-wife. Faced with one of the most complex enigmas of his career, he invests everything in him to bring to light a long-buried truth that will impact all of humanity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This futurist philosophical tale by Marie-Claude Verdier crosses science fiction with theatre to explore notions of identity and to challenge who truly has the power to tell their own story. Seeker poses questions spanning the past, present and future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\nshow less<\/mark><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A cockroach smoking catnip. A bard lamenting over immortality. A boy stuck in a sticky situation. Three splinters caught in a collision of language, longing, and lobsters (who sometimes bursts, and who sometimes burps).\u00a0 A play about the stories we tell ourselves to comfort, to survive, to resist, to overcome, and to be.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\nshow less<\/mark><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wracked with tuberculosis and completely disenfranchised from her old life of passionate activism, Dinah Reisberg resides in the limbo of the Mount Sinai Sanatorium north of Montreal. Lost in this land of shadows, stripped of everything that once defined her, Dinah is caught in a love triangle between fellow inmate Jonah, romantic hero and soldier-poet, seductive harbinger of Death, and David, Dinah\u2019s beau from the city, pragmatic delegate of Life, Orpheus to Dinah\u2019s Eurydice. Jonah\u2019s alluring romanticization of death will lead Dinah down a dark path. A contemporary Gothic drama that confronts the myths and limits of medical authority and power, the White Hotel investigates the precipice between love and lust, life and death.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\nshow less<\/mark><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re pleased to have Maryse Warda as the Glassco Residency\u2019s translation dramaturg and residency host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in Egypt, where she spent her childhood, Maryse Warda has been active on Quebec stages since 1992, and has translated more than seventy plays. Her work has helped introduce French-speaking audiences to many Canadian authors such as John Mighton, Morris Panych and George F. Walker. She has also translated many American, British, Scottish and Irish authors including Howard Barker, Margaret Edson, David Greig, David Ives, Cindy Lou Johnson, David Mamet, Douglas Maxwell, and Harold Pinter.

In 2011, she received the Governor General\u2019s Award for her translation of The Toxic Bus Incident<\/em> by Greg MacArthur. Her translation of Anthony Black\u2019s One Discordant Violin<\/em> \u2013 inspired by a short story by Yann Martel \u2013 was the subject of her work at the Glassco Translation Residency in 2019, and was presented at La Licorne in the fall of 2022. During the 2024-2025 season, a number of her translations were produced in Montreal : Clare Barron\u2019s Dance Generation<\/em>, Alice Birch\u2019s Anatomy of a Suicide<\/em>, Kate Hennig\u2019s The Last Wife<\/em>, and Gemma Bri\u00f3\u2019s Libert<\/em>.  Her translation of Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors<\/em> will be presented at La Tohu in September 2025.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2006, Maryse has benefited from the wonderful Glassco Translation Residency in Tadoussac on nine occasions. This is the fourth summer she serves as translation dramaturg and host.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
