    Abstract

    Catalan-language theatre from the Middle Ages is completely unknown in the Anglophone world, even though the Catalan Countries have rich performance histories from this historical period. An unknowing audience presents both opportunities and challenges to any theatre translator, but the transition from page to stage is not a simple transaction. Considering translation as a space for playful probing and creative intervention, this article reflects on the rehearsal process for the Mallorcan cuckoldry play, l’Entremès del Pasquedó, which was performed as part of the Out of the Wings festival in the summer of 2022. By looking at how the rehearsal process led to (re)translating, as well as (re)negotiating the jump from text to body, this article highlights that theatre translation is a never-ending process and, much like texts from the Middle Ages, it can continually be reimagined and reworked in new contexts.
