Recording of another meeting with Professor Martin Hilský on the work of William Shakespeare from 15/11/2022 in the Dejvický theater and this time the talk was about speech. Shakespeare - this is the theater of speech and an extremely rich feast of words. And also an image of a world full of paradoxes. What is the challenge for translators? To what extent is translation a creative activity? What does a translator need to know - where are the hidden barriers and how far does his freedom extend? Why is the literal translation inaccurate? What is the relationship between Renaissance English and contemporary Czech? Professor of English, translator and Shakespearean scholar Martin Hilský will reveal the secrets of translation and Shakespeare's sinful puns. Organized in cooperation with the British Council in the Czech Republic. (annotation source: Daša Sephton) Further information: www.britishcouncil.cz www.dejvickedivadlo.cz
