Would you believe one man is responsible for the innovation of both the Flying Trapeze AND the well known garment, the Leotard! Well its true! Listen to hear how this very well built dude dared to soar through the air before anyone else, creating the aerial art form we know as the Trapeze, and the famous outfit he dawned to do it, that really SHOWED it all, if you catch my drift!

Jules Leotard first somersaulted off a trapeze at Cirque Napoléon in Paris on 12th November, 1859. His act inspired gymnasts and circus performers the world over - although Leotard is now best remembered as the inventor of the skin-tight outfits he wore on stage.Leotard had abandoned his studies as a lawyer to perfect his circus skills, spurred on by his acrobatic father. He developed his act into a twelve-minute trapeze routine with only a heap of mattresses to break his fall. In this episode, Arion, Olly and Rebecca perve over old photos of Leotard's physique; reveal how Alvin and the Chipmunks AND Bruce Springsteen have a connection with this day in history; and consider how the leotard evolved from a ‘strong man' outfit to a girl's ballet costume… Further Reading:• ‘The First Public performance by Jules Leotard' (Squaducation, 2020): https://www.squaducation.com/blog/first-public-performance-jules-leotard• ‘THE DRESS AND THE LEGEND: HISTORY AND FUNCTIONS OF A LEOTARD' (The Vistek, 2020): https://thevistek.com/the-dress-and-the-legend-history-and-functions-of-a-leotard/• ‘Eddie Cantor - The Man On The Flying Trapeze' (Columbia Years 1922-1940): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwvqMptS7UAFor bonus material and to support the show, visit Patreon.com/RetrospectorsWe'll be back on Monday!
