无人玫瑰
你们问，为什么我总是穿黑色？这是对我生命的哀悼。
——玛莎，《海鸥》（契诃夫）
无可哀悼，黑色，没时间哀悼，黑色，画展开幕，黑色，焦土，黑色，智能手机，黑色，断电，黑色，轿车，黑色，宵禁，黑色。
萨莎生在长在基辅，曾远走上海，得一个中文名字：史湘云。多年后，她环游世界，落脚柏林，做房产销售，在柏林的一个俄语剧院演出俄语戏剧，最难忘角色是契科夫《海鸥》里的玛莎，一个俄版“红楼”里的史湘云。将开花的、明亮的玫瑰，粉碎在重重时间里。无可哀悼，无人玫瑰，因无而有。保罗·策兰无端渗入萨沙生活、渗入2022年的战争冲击波。无关的经典，无关的爱情，无关的战争，无关的萨莎玛莎史湘云，无关的基辅上海和柏林，在一个无人房间，成就一晚上的无人玫瑰。
谁醒了？谁睡了？废墟废墟废墟，连线断线连线断线……

No One's Rose
Вы спрашиваете, отчего я всегда хожу в черном? Это траур по моей жизни.
Ви запитуєте, чому я завжди ходжу в чорному? Це траур за моїм життям.
Why, you ask, do I always wear black? It is a mourning for my life.
Sie fragen, warum ich immer Schwarz trage? Das ist die Trauer um mein Leben.
- Masha, „The Seagull“ (Anton Chekhov)
Unmournable, black, no time for mourning, black, vernissage, burnt earth, black, smart phone, blackout, limousine, curfew, black.
Sascha was born and raised in Kyiv of the Soviet Union. In 1995 she left far for Shanghai, in the age of Reform and Opening-up. There she got a name from 18th century Chinese classical literature: Shi Xiangyun. After twenty years, she returned on European soil after a world trip. She found herself in Berlin. She started learning German. She got a job selling properties in an upmarket real estate agency. Sascha, once a ballet student par excellence, entered a private Russian-speaking theatre and played a role from 19th century imperial Russian classical literature: Masha. Wir blühn, seelenhell, Rose, shattered in layers and fragments of time. (Paul Celan “Psalm”) She encounters Her Face, by Providence, Celan’s words, war impacts, a demanding full-time parallel to her full-time job. Words rooted in experience of brutality, words that subverted Adorno’s famous statement ‘Nach Auschwitz ein Gedicht zu schreiben, ist barbarisch’, they haunt they reoccur in the sinister spooky face of histories, inside the warmth of fainted dreams, outside the chill morning in bedroom, between languages, jobs, identities, experiences and their unconnectability. They barely spell. Hardly readable. Wer erwachte? Heimatlich. Wohin gings? (Paul Celan “Niemandsrose“)
