Zine Review: Trabant #5
Trabant #5
88 pages / ¼ size / $3
Meticulous,
well choreographed document of Megan’s year spent in circus school. She
details personal routines, exercises, grueling physical workouts,
injuries, highs and lows. Finally toward the end of the zine, Megan
discusses what a “career” in circus might look like. The question that
kept rolling around in my brain while reading Trabant #5 is why anyone
would put themselves through this level of intensity, physical
exhaustion and pain unless they were obsessed. On one level there is
almost too much information in this zine, and I wonder who it will
appeal to beyond the circus / theater / dance community.
