A panel talk bringing together theatre-makers, dramaturgs, translators, publishers and researchers to examine the interrelation between (un)translatability, (un)stageability and (un)performability. It is produced and presented by The Cockpit and UAL Wimbledon College of Arts as part of the Voila! Theatre Festival. The discussion addresses panlingualism in the theatre, making work in languages other than English or the creatives' mother tongue, what it means to be an exophonic artist, and how migration challenges the notion of the 'native speaker'. It includes a short reading from a contemporary play as a prompt, moderated by Dr Jozefina Komporaly, an academic and translator at UAL Wimbledon College of Arts, and tickets are by donation supporting migrant artists in the UK.
