With one foot somewhere else...

A world reading stage for the literary translators Annette Kopetzki, Miriam Mandelkow, Eva Profousová and Claudia Steinitz

Festsaal im Schloss Schönhausen

The four translators Annette Kopetzki (translating from Italian), Miriam Mandelkow (translating from English), Eva Profousova (translating contemporary Czech literature) and Claudia Steinitz (translating from French) present the results of their latest work to each other and the audience every year.

They ask each other about their books and the path they have taken from one language to another, elicit anecdotes about the authors, the publishing world, embarrassing mishaps and feelings of happiness while translating and read short passages from translated books. The evening ends with a lottery in which the audience has to match four sentences to the books presented and can win them.

Originally developed for Hamburg, the format has now found its way to Berlin.Translated with DeepL
