Budehan (Budhan in Chinese)

Culture, Info Tech, Language

Dakxin Bajranage’s play, Budhan has been up on the web for some time. The wonderful thing about making art and literature freely available on the web is that it can be adapted and remixed by others. So, I’m happy to learn that Taiwanese blogger Zonble has translated Dakxin’s play into Chinese and posted it on the web for all the world to see!

布德漢:一部除名部落查哈拉斯的劇作

… 說書人:在開始演出前,我們要先簡短回顧我們的歷史。在印度總數將近十億的人口中,有六千萬人,隸屬在所謂的「除名部落」(DNT,De- notified Tribes)中。為了人人都不明不白的原因,我們必須要獨自挑起重擔。我們是「除名部落」,或是所謂的原住民(Adivasis)—是一支古老的族裔。我們看盡千年來世上的滄海桑田,我們生活在自然當中,我們在自然的子宮中出生,也在自然的裙蔭下死亡。或是,被屠殺。我們曾經是雨林的主人,但是,我們現在要同樣的森林中,為我們的權益而戰。幾世紀來,「除名部落」的族人被大量屠殺,甚至,就在不久之前,如果一位「除名部落」的族人,行經一座村莊的時候,他的身體會被切成碎片。

Zonble is also responsible for having given our short film about the Budhan Theater, Acting Like a Thief its Chinese title: 《賊模賊樣

Now, if we can just get Budhan Theater to Taiwan for a live performance!

Thanks Zonble!
