| description | The article explores the topic of theatrical interpreting, a type of interpreting that has been
developing dynamically for the last few years, enabling Deaf people to participate in the
surrounding culture of the hearing society. The article discusses in detail a few forms of
theatrical interpreting, such as position interpreting, zone interpreting, shadow interpreting
and experimental interpreting. The main attention in the article is given to shadow interpreting,
a special form of simultaneous interpreting from spoken language to sign language, whereby
each actor on stage is accompanied by one interpreter. During the play, sign language
interpreters are an integral part of the performance – they follow the actors and become their
shadows. This form of interpreting is very comfortable for Deaf viewers as they can fully
concentrate on the actors’ performance without the necessity to split their attention between
the artists and the sign language interpreting. The first attempts to apply this form of
interpreting in Poland were made only in 2015. The article deals also with the topics of
preparation for interpreting, challenges connected with each type of the interpreting described
in the article as well as the specific role of an interpreter. |
