Plays for Young People is a unique project organised by the Absolutely Fabulous Theatre Connection (AFTEC) that aims to nurture local translators and create quality translated plays in Chinese and English for young people.
After two highly successful series in 2016 & 2018, AFTEC is now calling for emerging translators for the third series.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to partner with overseas playwrights and coordinators from Asia and Europe. Under the mentorship of veteran local translators, you will translate unique plays written specifically for young people.
Translation of plays will be mainly from English to Chinese with also an opportunity to translate into English.
Eligibility:
Undergraduates/ Postgraduates majoring in translation
Individuals interested in the translation of plays
Cultural aficionados (no expertise required, just passion)
Enrolment deadline: 9 July 2021
FREE OF CHARGE
Details: www.aftec.hk/en/programme/plays-young-people-3-en/
A maximum of 18 emerging translators will be selected from the shortlisted applicants after an interview. Translated plays might be used for AFTEC’s future programmes. One final translator per play will be chosen and acknowledged by name.
Confirmed Playwrights:
Khairi Anwar (Kuala Lumpur) IQ.Rock (Education in a Malaysian Village)
Lin Meng Huan (Taichung) E.S.D.F. (Earth & Humans)
Olga Macrinici (Chisinau) Docuanimal (Humans & Animals)
