Verhandelt das Unverfügbare: Kleist-Preis für Sasha Marianna Salzmann

verhandelt das unverfügbare: kleist-preis für sasha marianna salzmann

Die Berliner Autorin Sasha Marianna Salzmann gewinnt den Kleist-Preis.

Die Berliner Schriftstellerin Sasha Marianna Salzmann wird mit dem diesjährigen Kleist-Preis ausgezeichnet. Die Ehrung findet nach Angaben vom Donnerstag am 17. November während einer Matinée im Deutschen Theater in Berlin statt. Entsprechend der Tradition des Kleist-Preises wurde Salzmann von einer sogenannten Vertrauensperson bestimmt. Dazu hatte die Jury der Heinrich-von-Kleist-Gesellschaft die Autorin Samira El Ouassil gewählt.

Salzmann (38) zeichne sich durch ein eindrucksvolles Talent aus, die Gegenwart „künstlerisch zu erschließen und dabei zugleich das zu verhandeln, was unverfügbar bleibt“. Salzmann schreibe über mehrschichtige, komplexe Gesellschaftsfelder, bei denen sich eine Eindeutigkeit verbiete.

Salzmann, geboren in Wolgograd, lebt in Berlin und versteht sich als nicht-binär. Salzmann wuchs in Moskau auf. 1995 kamen die Familienmitglieder als jüdische Kontingentflüchtlinge nach Deutschland. Sie trat zuerst mit Theaterstücken hervor wie etwa mit „Muttersprache Mameloschn“ und gehörte zum Leitungsteam des Gorki-Studios. 2017 veröffentlichte sie mit großem Erfolg ihren Debüt-Roman „Außer sich“, die, wie ihr jüngster Roman „Im Menschen muss alles herrlich sein“, autobiografisch inspiriert ist. Außerdem meldet sich Salzmann in aktuellen Debatte zu Wort.

Die Heinrich-von-Kleist-Gesellschaft vergibt den mit 20.000 Euro dotierten Preis im November jedes Jahres in zeitlicher Nähe zu Kleists (1777-1811) Todestag. Den Kleist-Preis bekamen bereits Bertolt Brecht, Robert Musil oder Anna Seghers. Nach Wiederbegründung 1985 gehörten unter anderem Alexander Kluge, Heiner Müller, Ernst Jandl, Monika Maron, Herta Müller, Daniel Kehlmann, Monika Rinck oder Yoko Tawada zu den Preisträgerinnen und Preisträgern.
