reinterpreter

One who reconstrues

A reinterpreter is someone or something that interprets again or differently.

The word usually describes a person who offers a fresh reading of existing material—a director who reinterprets a classic play, a scholar who reinterprets historical events, a musician who reinterprets a standard: She's known as a bold reinterpreter of Shakespeare.
