Abstract
Starting from the premise that the coexistence of different languages has been a phenomenon in the theater since its beginnings and in different forms, this paper deals with two current theater productions, both exploring innovative forms of multilingualism. In both cases, the stage directors chose to translate plays originally written in a single language into other languages or varieties, in order to create a strangeness or reinforce the feeling of not understanding. Such a multilingual theater staging has consequences for theatrical translation and the reception of dramas, which are discussed in this paper.
