The workshop stands for the close connection between practical translation work and the examination of current theater, staging and writing practice in the German-speaking world. The focus is on the translators' concrete work on texts from the festival selection, attending the performances and discussing the versions of the invited productions together. 

The International Workshop Mülheim is an event of ITI Germany in cooperation with Mülheimer Theatertage. The Translators' Workshop is supported by the Goethe-Institut and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM).
