轴心之爱：在距离中练习The Axis of Love: Practice in Distance
这场跨国表演连接了两个家庭——在北京的沈博伦与女儿吴诺一，以及在德黑兰的尼娜·哈塔米与儿子阿里亚——通过朗读改编的情诗展开互动。两个孩子隔着屏幕轮流朗读，由各自的父母在一旁引导。
表演文本取自中伊两国的传统素材，共12首，包括带有民族主义色彩的诗歌、小学课本中的诗选、军歌，以及鲁霍拉·霍梅尼的诗作。
演出于2025年5月31日通过线上直播进行，观众远程参与。北京的演出现场设于缓存空间，德黑兰一方则在私人住宅中进行。
演出时间无意中发生在两国的重要政治纪念日之前：1989年6月4日。在中国，这是天安门事件的日期；在伊朗，则是霍梅尼去世次日，并被定为每年的官方追悼日。另一巧合是，沈博伦出生于1989年，而尼娜·哈塔米的生日正是6月4日。
This cross-border performance connected two families — Bolun Shen and his daughter Noe in Beijing, Nina Hatami and her son Aria in Tehran — in a reading of reworked love poems. The children alternate to read to each other across the screen, guided by their parents.
12 adapted texts, drawn from traditional Chinese and Iranian sources — including nationalistic poems, poems from elementary school textbooks, military anthems, and verses by Ruhollah Khomeini — served as the script.
The event was streamed live on May 31, 2025, with audiences joining remotely. It took place at CACHE Space in Beijing and in a private home in Tehran.
Unintentionally, the performance fell just days before politically charged anniversaries in both countries: June 4, 1989. In China, the date marks the Tiananmen Square crackdown. June 3, 1989, was the day of Ruhollah Khomeini's death, and June 4 has since been designated as his official day of commemoration. Coincidences extended further — Bolun Shen was born in 1989, and Nina Hatami was born on June 4.
表演文本节选（共12首）Text excerpts (of twelve)
中国朗读 China reads——**爱你就像爱信仰 Loving You Is Like Loving a Belief**
花儿喜欢太阳， The flowers love the sun, 正如我望着你，睁大眼睛不敢眨。 Just like when I look at you, eyes wide, afraid to blink.
花儿在阳光下开放， The flowers bloom under the sunlight, 我在你的注视中肆意盛开。 I bloom freely under your gaze.
鸟儿喜欢蓝天， The birds love the blue sky, 我喜欢你的坚定和高远。 I love your steadfastness and vastness.
我热爱你，像热爱信仰， I love you like one loves a belief, 在你温柔的怀抱里幸福生长。 Growing happily in your tender embrace.
伊朗朗读 Iran reads——**پدر به من نفس داد Father Gave Me Breath 父亲给了我呼吸**
پدر به من نفس داد Father gave me breath 父亲给了我呼吸 مادر به من دستها بخشید Mother gave me hands 母亲给了我双手
من تو را لمس کردم I touched you 我触碰了你 تو نیز مرا لمس کردی You also touched me 你也触碰了我
او دید He saw 他看见了 ما سرخ شدیم We blushed 我们脸红了
شما خندیدید You laughed 你们笑了 آنها فهمیدند They knew 他们知道了
