Hétköznapi emberek: drámák

Common People. Plays
The DramArt series wishes to promote contemporary plays with the help of translations. In this first volume we publish five dramatic texts by Gianina Cărbunariu, translated into Hungarian by Csűrös Réka and patkó Éva, with a preface by Botos Kinga. Hungarian readers have now the opportunity to meet an author whose texts do not start from the loneliness of the writer’s desk to proceed then towards publishers, editors and the stage. They are born and modelled by the interaction between the living reality of everyday life and the process of theatrical creation. This is a dialogue in which partners change, very much like in the case of successful translations. A text which finds its home in another language will not only bring otherness closer, but it will also have an impact on the languages involved. With the following Romanian, English and Hungarian volumes of this series we wish to contribute to the dialogue between cultures, languages and theatrical conceptions. The publication was financed by the Communitas Foundation and supported by the Studium Prospero Foundation.
