Victory Over the Sun

[David Powelstock]

An available translation: Victory over the Sun, translated by Ewa Bartos;
Victoria Nes Kirby
The Drama Review: TDR, Vol. 15, No. 4. (Autumn, 1971), pp. 107-125. 

The discussion of the new publication (new translation and commentary by
Evgeny Steiner plus a rich array of supporting materials and articles) took
place last March. I was in touch with the editor of the project, Patricia
Railing, at the time, but I'm not sure what the current status of the
project is. I had the opportunity to see Evgeny's translation of
Khlebnikov's Prologue and found it, and the commentary, to be excellent. I'm
very much looking forward to the eventual publication. The publisher's
website is http://www.artistsbookworks.co.uk/ but I have yet to see any
mention of Victory there.

Happy New Year to all,
David Powelstock

Subject: [SEELANGS] Victory Over the Sun

Dear Seelangers,
 
I seem to remember that several months ago, there was a discussion on this
list to the effect that a new translation into English of "Victory Over the
Sun" had either been completed recently or was in the works. If anyone has
information about that project, could you send it my way? Or, on another
hand, if anyone knows of any kind of English translation of VOS or parts of
it, I'd be grateful for that information as well. I have tried to find a
translation, but it seems to be obscure and only available through used book
sellers. I am wondering if it exists somewhere in an anthology? Also, for
anyone who has taught the work before, do you have insights or ideas for
good sources for accompanying materials? e.g., I believe there is a video of
a production of the opera out there somewhere?
 
Feel free to contact me off the list at stefanis at grinnell.edu
 
Many thanks in advance.
 
Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!
 
Best regards,
Sara Stefani
