Cenacolo Monte Verità – supporting emerging literary voices
For six consecutive editions, I worked with Cenacolo Monte Verità, a multilingual writing workshop for emerging authors from across Switzerland. Each year, participants developed and discussed their work under the guidance of an established contemporary writer. During this period, the Cenacolo was led by Anna Ruchat, Paolo Di Stefano, Michela Murgia, Alessandro Leogrande, Fabio Pusterla and Prisca Agustoni, among others. Each brought a distinctive perspective and literary practice to the workshop.
As a liaison interpreter, I worked across German, Italian and French, enabling direct dialogue between different literary perspectives and forms of expression. Preserving nuance, subtlety and individual voices was essential.
The Cenacolo was part of the wider Eventi letterari Monte Verità, whose artistic directors over the years included Joachim Sartorius, Paolo Di Stefano and Stefan Zweifel, working with Maike Albath and Stefano Knuchel. It brought a new generation of Swiss writers into direct contact with the international literary scene.
For the official Festival catalogue, I also translated and edited literary texts by contemporary authors from Switzerland’s three main language regions. The focus was on preserving the character of each text, carrying its tone, rhythm and individual voice into the translation.
