Throughout the translation process we have looked into other visual
representations of the play to see how individual artistic
responses throughout the centuries might influence
the ASL translation. At various times during the
process members of the translation team would replicate physical
postures, positions, and movement indicated by the paintings or renderings.
Here are a few such images which we used to influence the translation/interpretation.
There will be others added to this site within the
coming weeks.
