To tell a beautiful story Explanation: My suggestion. I understand 'Geschichtenkaleidoskop' as a selection of short stories, anecdotes, but it also seems a common term in theatre, e.g. here at http://www.emscherblut.de/formate.htm: 'Ein Wort ist Inspiration für den ganzen Abend. Ein facettenreiches Kaleidoskop aus Szenen, Geschichten und Songs um ein einzelnes Wort.' Alternatively, perhaps Creating beautiful moments might work? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2009-08-21 16:40:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In pursuit of beautiful storytelling Although I realize that storytelling might not describe all aspects of the performance. Do you already have a translation for 'Geschichtenkaleidoskop'? I note Stephen's very interesting comments. Maybe 'streben' does not sound too odd to a native speaker (cf. ‘Das Streben nach Glück’, which inspired my translation attempt above), but 'sterben' would be an intriguing choice, too. Incidentally, there is also the German saying 'in Schönheit sterben' = 'to play brilliantly and lose' (Pons Deu>Eng Idiomatik). |
