This paper is focused on Michèle Fabien’s reception of Pasolini’s theatrical work and on her (collaborative) translations into French of the writer’s plays Calderòn, Affabulazione and Pilade. The first section of this paper explores Fabien’s ethics of (collaborative) translation, whereas the second one deals with her understanding of the three plays she translated, the same that are analysed in the third and last section of this paper. The conclusive remarks underline the work that remains to be done in this largely unexplored field of study.
