先锋的坚持

寒冷的赫尔辛基街头，零下三四度的六点钟，某购物中心的广场上我看到了这个孤独的演员。

单薄的服装，一丝不苟的表情，她是冰雪女王！高傲，没有任何一句话。我同伴想跟她合影，而她自顾自表演一个冰雪女王偶人的慢动作。

一个孤独的一个表演者！

我们以为不能合影，正打算离开，一个男子跳了出来，他是这个街头表演的导演，告诉我们可以跟冰雪女王合影。

先锋的坚持

我们满脸高兴地跟女王合影，女王依然满脸傲慢。这也许便是女王的街头角色设定。

先锋的坚持

旁边这位男子就是这场街头表演的导演。

事实上，我很想了解更多的这样的街头艺术，所以请导演在我的手机上写下了他的名字，方便日后的了解。他很惊讶，显然没有想到会有人会对像他这样的街头艺术导演感兴趣。

他问我，是否可以写下女王演员的名字，我说当然！

瑟瑟寒风中，他刚写下名字，我就被同伴拉走了，因为早已定好的摇滚演唱会五分钟以后马上入场了。

我被扯走的一瞬间，看到了导演眼中的落寞。

今天我搜索了这个名字，从简历上看来，是一个不大出名的戏剧艺术从业者，细分领域也比较狭窄。以下是他的简介：
