Death of Acrobat Martina Barceló: Family Farewell in Bautzen and Unanswered Questions

Answer

What is life like for travelling circus artists in Mallorca and abroad?

Travelling circus work is often unstable and physically demanding. Artists may spend long periods in caravans, move from town to town and deal with limited social infrastructure, changing stages and little time to recover between performances. That is why accidents affect not only the performer, but also families and colleagues who may have little support when something goes wrong.
