This investigation is concerned with the fields of theatre and translation. Themes consider the ways in which we can frame cultural encounters working with a foreign source text. The influence of imagination in the work of theatre practitioners and the spectators is also reviewed. Lastly, cultural implications on psychophysical training methodologies in the work with actors in the rehearsal room are discussed.
