Abstract

This thesis explores adaptation through translation in Luis Riaza’s dramatic text, Antígona...¡Cerda!. I have translated this play from Spanish to English and staged it at New College of Florida. The first chapter describes the sociohistorical and cultural context in which Riaza wrote the play as well as an explanation and analysis of his style of work. My translation of the play is the second chapter, which includes notes on directorial and translation choices. The final chapter is a reflection on the performance and the rehearsal process including an explanation on specific actor technique. A copy of the performance is attached as a DVD found in the back of this document.
