  • サマリー

  • We're in between boroughs this week as Alex goes gaga for Miss Lala (as painted be Degas). She wowed the crowds in Paris and London with her phenomenal strongwoman act, on the trapeze, holding herself, and others, with her teeth. Her portrait is still wowing the crowds at the National Gallery. Pop in to pay her a visit and decide for yourselves, what do you see at first glance? Is she jumping? We know more about her performances than her life, but there are moments when we can glimpse her, moving to London, appearing at the Royal Aquarium, getting married. A mixed race pocket rocket gymnast who performed as at Black Venus and one half of Les Deux Papillons. She was last recorded applying for a passport, on the brink, maybe, of a leap across the oceans into the unknown. But we can admire her still, as Degas saw her that night, in white and gold, dazzling the Parisiennes high above the Cirque Fernando. Oh and we go off on a tangent for the benefit of Mr Kite. That makes a change, it's usually Fiona who does the tangents. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
