Performability versus Readability: this study focuses on the interface of two theoretical framework 'the Semiotics of Theater and Theater Translation' as well as on the theoretical polarization between the notions of performability and readability in Theater Translation since the mid-1980s.
The difference between performability (mise en scene) and readability (written text), is the difference between dramatic (language) and stage (languages).
