世界爛成稀泥，我只能……

——《單讀 42》新書分享會

今年的國際形勢動蕩不安。新技術的快速發展也讓人不知所措。在全球化時代，每一個看似遙遠的變動都會在日常生活泛起漣漪。瘋了，世界瘋了，每個人也快瘋了：未來會怎樣？我們會失業嗎？我們會陷入貧窮嗎？戰爭離我們有多近？氣候變化會讓地球更不宜居嗎？……

瑞士劇作家多米尼克·布施（Dominik Busch）的劇作《合唱團》把我們的記憶拉回到 2001 年?！?·11”事件爆發，一架飛機撞上世貿中心雙塔；瑞士盧塞恩發生了一起槍擊案，一個業余合唱團正在參加合唱周，其中一位團員的女兒在這樁案件中遇害。當時人們也驚慌失措地發問：“這世界究竟怎么了？”

二十五年過去，世界還是一攤稀泥。但我們什么都做不了嗎？我們要就此束手就擒，在恐懼、怨恨、悲傷中過完短短一生？多米尼克·布施用劇作《合唱團》回溯了 2001 年的傷痛，寫下當時人們的錯愕、悲傷、茫然之后，他又寫下人們是怎么帶著創傷活下去的。那個獲知噩耗的合唱團，最終決定繼續把歌唱下去。

沒有人能阻止我們。也許有那么一會兒，在劫后余生的驚魂不定中我們中的一些人會感到無所適從。但不會一直如此。不會永遠這樣。走，我們上臺吧。

也許一個人能做的事很微小，小到只能整理好自己的箱子，只能把準備好的表演完成，但內心的力量就這樣一點點積攢起來。今年 3 月，多米尼克·布施會在上海和南京與中國的戲劇愛好者見面。3 月 24 日，他將在南京大學黑匣子劇場，與南京大學教授陳恬、劇場創作者程月旻（她也是《合唱團》的譯者）、《單讀》主編吳琦一起，聊聊作為文藝工作者，如何應對爛成稀泥的世界。

本場活動隸屬于“這一次，再一次：相信戲劇”系列活動， 得到瑞士文化基金會上海辦公室、北京德國文化中心·歌德學院（中國）支持，由南京大學文學院戲劇影視藝術系提供場地支持。

Theme: The World's Been a Mess, and All I Can Do Is...

The international situation has been turbulent. The rapid development of new technologies has also left us overwhelmed. Under globalisation, every change that seems distant is impacting our daily lives. The world has gone mad, and we’re all on the verge of losing our minds: what will the future be like? Will we lose our jobs? Will we fall into poverty? How close is war?

Will climate change make the Earth less habitable?……

Swiss playwright Dominik Busch’s play The Choir (Der Chor) takes us back to 2001. The 9/11 attacks exploded, with a plane crashing into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre; in Lucerne, Switzerland, a shooting took place during a choral festival, the daughter of one of the choir members was killed. At the time, people also asked in panic: ‘What on earth is happening to the world?’

Twenty-five years on, the world remains a shambles. But are we powerless to do anything? Are we to simply give up, and spend our short lives drowning in fear, resentment and grief? In his play The Choir, Dominik Busch revisits the trauma of 2001. Having captured the shock, grief and bewilderment of the time, he goes on to depict how people carried on living with their trauma. That choir, which shocked by the terrible news, ultimately decided to keep singing.

Perhaps what one person can do is very small—small enough to merely pack one’s own luggage, or simply perform the prepared piece—but inner strength accumulates in this way. This March, Dominik Busch will meet with theatre enthusiasts in Shanghai and Nanjing. On 24 March, at Nanjing University’s Black Box Theatre, he will join Professor Chen Tian of Nanjing University, theatre creator Cheng Yuemin (who also translated The Choir), and Wu Qi, editor-in-chief of One-way Street Journal, to discuss how cultural workers can respond to a world that has crumbled into mud.

This event is part of the project ‘This Time, Once Again: Believing in Theatre’, supported by Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia Shanghai, Goethe-Institut Beijing, with venue support provided by Department of Theatre, Film and TV, School of Liberal Arts, Nanjing University.
