Summary
In the last decade theatre criticism witnessed a development in space studies that helped transform ‘landscape theory’ into a research area. The fact that any translational process involves interpretation and adaptation from a viewpoint, and that theory implies a situational perspective, elicits reflections on these two interactive concepts. This article reflects upon related theoretical models and methodologies—ecocriticism, spatial theory, phenomenology, Walter Benjamin’s concept of reading between the lines—in parallel with the actual translation of Christopher Hampton’s Savages (1973) into a Portuguese playtext/performance text produced at Lisbon’s Centro Cultural de Belém in 2003.
