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.
