Description

Review of ‘In Another Tongue’, event at the Talbot Rice Gallery, 3rd March, Maggie Ashmole.

 

'Particularly intriguing was a performance from Charlotte Bosseaux, with the help of translators Rosalee Ross and Frankie Hemery. The senior lecturer in Translation Studies read aloud a story, originally written in Croatian, which had been translated twice into French, once by somebody who knew the story, and once by somebody who didn’t. While Bosseaux read the story, which details a woman’s journey to leaving an abusive relationship, her colleagues interjected at points where their translations differed from the original, resulting in a performance which revealed the complexities and subjectivity of words in translation.'
