Summary/Abstract: This conversation between Tímea Nagyosy and Brigitta Csog focuses on the challenges and methodologies behind translating contemporary Romanian dramas into Hungarian, particularly for stage performances. The authors, who have received training in theatre studies, discuss the importance of finding a balance between faithful translation and adaptation, the context-sensitivity of theatrical translation, and the differences in the expectations of Hungarian audiences in Romania vs. those in Hungary. The complexity of subtitling is also explored, as well as the interplay between dramaturgy and translation in order to create a translation that works cohesively within the overall performance.
