[00:09.09]	The opera tells the story of Mukhtaran Mai,
[00:12.16]	the Pakistani woman who became known around the world
[00:15.24]	for her struggle to bring to justice the men who allegedly raped her in 2002
[00:20.75]	and then became a champion of education for girls.
[00:24.35]	(Mukhtaran Mai gives an interview at a school in Meerwala, in Pakistan's central Punjab province, April 22, 2011)
[00:28.91]	The title of the production “Thumbprint” refers to the fact that many illiterate people in Pakistan
[00:34.70]	and many other countries use their thumbprints to sign their names.
[00:40.21]	Composer and lead singer Kamala Sankaram,
[00:43.68]	who plays the role of Mukhtaran, says that’s an important part of the plot.
[00:48.00]	“We felt that the central, pivotal moment of the story is when Mukhtaran realizes the fact “
[00:54.80]	that she is illiterate has kept her from awareness of the laws of her country and of her rights
[01:01.96]	and so it symbolizes, really, what we think the show is about.
[01:05.96]	It’s about this person who rises up to become an advocate for women’s education.”
[01:12.89]	The performance opens with the day Mukhtaran was allegedly gang raped at the orders of a tribal village council
[01:21.90]	Because they believed her brother had had an affair with a girl from a prominent local family.
[01:28.86]	With a score influenced by traditional South Asian and western classical music,
[01:35.46]	Thumbprint shows an illiterate woman struggling for justice after being let down by her tribal traditions.
[01:45.54]	Rachel Dickstein, the show’s director,
[01:48.66]	“Mukhtaran Mai never set out to be a revolutionary for the sake of being a revolutionary.
[01:57.22]	She found her own voice and for us, as artists, telling a story about that is very inspiring.”
[02:08.04]	(Composer and lead singer Sankaram says,)
[02:10.96]	“There is so much silence that surrounds the acts of violence women in India, in Pakistan, in America, everywhere
[02:20.33]	and the fact that she chose to speak out to continue by becoming an advocate for women’s education.
[02:27.54]	I guess for me, it's inspirational because it shows that one person with conviction can make a change.
[02:35.99]	Producing Director Kim Whitener had no doubts that Mukhtaran Mai’s story would resonate with the audience.
[02:42.12]	“The degree to which they have sort of outpouring of tremendous empathy
[02:50.29]	and personal reaction to the story has just been astounding to us.”
[02:57.66]	Thumbprint played to full houses during its eight days of performances.
[03:03.01]	The producers believe that because of this response,
[03:05.58]	they will be taking Mukhtaran Mai’s story to other American cities.

[00:09.09]	这部歌剧讲述了Mukhtaran Mai的故事
[00:12.16]	这位巴基斯坦妇女闻名于世
[00:15.24]	因为她在2002年强奸她的男人绳之以法
[00:20.75]	后来成为女性教育的拥护者
[00:24.35]	( 2011年4月22日，Mukhtaran Mai在巴基斯坦旁遮普省中部的Merwala的一所学校接受采访)
[00:28.91]	该作品的题目《拇指印》指的是巴基斯坦
[00:34.70]	和其他很多国家的文盲用他们的指纹来签名
[00:40.21]	作曲家和主唱Kamala Sankaram
[00:43.68]	即扮演Mukhtaran的演员，说这是情节的一个重要部分
[00:48.00]	“我们认为，故事的中心关键时刻是，当Mukhtaran意识到她是文盲这一事实时
[00:54.80]	她意识自己无法使用本国的法律和她的权利
[01:01.96]	因此，它代表着我们认为这个节目想传达的内容”
[01:05.96]	这是关于个人站起来成为女性教育的倡导者
[01:12.89]	演出开始于故事的第一天，据说Mukhtaran在部落村委会的命令下被轮奸
[01:21.90]	因为他们相信她的哥哥曾与一个当地知名家庭的女孩有外遇
[01:28.86]	受到南亚传统音乐和西方古典音乐的影响
[01:35.46]	《拇指印》展现了一个文盲妇女在被部落传统打倒后为正义而挣扎
[01:45.54]	该剧的导演Rachel Dickstein说
[01:48.66]	“Mukhtaran从来不是为了革命而成为革命者
[01:57.22]	她找到了自己的价值，而且对于我们，作为艺术家，讲述这样一个故事是非常鼓舞人心的”
[02:08.04]	(作曲家兼主唱Sankaram说:)
[02:10.96]	“在印度、巴基斯坦和美国各地，围绕着暴力妇女的行为通常是沉默居多
[02:20.33]	而她选择通过成为妇女教育的倡导者而不断发声
[02:27.54]	对我来说，这是鼓舞人心的，因为它表明一个有信念的人可以做出改变
[02:35.99]	导演Kim Whitener从不怀疑Mukhtaran Mai的故事会引起观众的共鸣
[02:42.12]	“他们对这个故事倾注了极大的同情心，
[02:50.29]	而观众的反响程度让我们感到震惊。”
[02:57.66]	在八天的演出中，满屋子都是拇指印
[03:03.01]	制片人认为，由于这一强烈反响
[03:05.58]	他们将会把Mukhtaran Mai的故事带到其他美国城市
