The purpose of this article is a self-reflection. It is about describing and establishing a critical retrospective look at my own theatrical training carried out between 1982 and 1989, at the UNI-RIO Theater School in Rio de Janeiro. I start from the premise that 30 years after the beginning of these university studies, I will be able to revisit this training for directors in performing arts, from the place occupied (or not) by the translation of foreign theatrical texts worked by us. It is about the construction of a self-criticism about the training standard that was given not only to me, but to a good generation of graduates of this public education establishment and other similar ones throughout Brazil, concluding with a personal reflection on the translation of theatrical texts.
