Description

Burgerz by Travis Alabanza is a poetic and passionate performance piece that explores the complexities of being trans. In 2016, the author was hurled with words and objects on Waterloo Bridge, an experience that sparked this powerful work. The 'burger' serves as a metaphor for the texture and taste of being trans, delving into themes of verbal abuse, ostracisation, and the black trans experience. This performance piece is a raw and unflinching look at the author's experiences, tackling issues of identity, violence, and marginalisation. Through its exploration of the 'burger', Burgerz sheds light on the often-overlooked intersectionality of being trans and black. Travis Alabanza's work is a powerful exploration of the human experience, one that challenges readers to confront their own biases and assumptions. With its unflinching honesty and poetic depth, Burgerz is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in LGBTQ+ issues, social justice, or performance art.
