“The collaboration with Birgit who translated my text “Tragödienbastard” [“Goddesses”] into English was the best collaboration with a translator I had so far. It was an honor to work with such an experienced and creative translator. Birgit could grasp the form and rhythm of my language [and] I felt very seen in the way she connected with the topics of my text, such as issues of feminism in their intersectional dimensions.”

“Birgit’s German translation of “The Knitting Pilgrim” for our German tour was fantastic. Due to her intimate knowledge of both cultures involved,
she was not only diligent in finding the best way to convey the play’s message, but helped immensely with adapting the translation for our projected surtitles.”

“I very much appreciated our collaboration on the English premiere of my play “The Thing (Das Ding)” in Toronto, especially because Birgit does not merely translate words but can transfer meaning and cultural specificities into other linguistic contexts. I would work with her again anytime!”

“Barfuss’ dialogue [is] masterfully translated by Birgit”

“[“The Test”] can also be, in Birgit’s excellent translation, laughout-loud funny”

“Birgit did an excellent job with the translation/re-imagination of “The Test””

“One has to admire Birgit’s translation of unconventional language. [“Kaspar & the Sea of Houses” is] my favourite SummerWorks production so far.”
