Spanish term or phrase: voz en off
cómo se dice voz en off para el teatro. sé que para cine y tv es "voice over" pero creo que no es lo mismo en teatro.
parte del texto a traducir: "En off, desde la choza, el padre dice: Yaco no salgas al mar"
quiza se pueda decir "off stage" o "from off stage"

creo que lo mejor es off stage, ya que no hay narrador así que no puede ser narrator y off camara o off screen no se aplican a una obra de teatro.

All stage directions. And it does mean "off stage"
