| dbo:abstract | Rosa Matilda Richter, Künstlername Zazel (auch: Rossa, Ehename Rosa Starr; * 14. April 1862 in London; † 8. Dezember 1937 in England) war eine deutsch-englische Zirkusartistin, die als erste „menschliche Kanonenkugel“ Berühmtheit erlangte. Als erster weiblicher Akrobatik-Zirkusstar ebnete sie den Weg für Frauen, die ihr in diesem Beruf nachfolgten. (de) Rossa Matilda Richter (Londres, 1863-Peckham, 8 de diciembre de 1937), también conocida por su nombre artístico Zazel o La Petite Lulu, fue una artista circense, actriz, cantante, bailarina, empresaria inglesa, que se convirtió en la primera persona en realizar el acto de bala de cañón humana. Comenzó a actuar desde pequeña, practicando acrobacias aéreas como caminar sobre una cuerda floja en una antigua iglesia de Londres. Practicó ballet, gimnasia y trapecio cuando tenía 6 años de edad, y, a los 12 años, salió de gira con una compañía de acróbatas itinerante. En 1877, cuando tenía 14 años, fue la primera persona en ser despedida desde un cañón, frente a una gran multitud en el Royal Aquarium. Los periodistas y el público expresaron su preocupación por la seguridad de la artista desde el momento de sus primeras actuaciones. Richter fue citada por un legislador como una de las razones para la propuesta de una normativa en Inglaterra que evitara las acrobacias peligrosas, lo que la llevó a llevar el espectáculo a los Estados Unidos. Recorrió Europa y América del Norte con circos como Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, ejecutando la cuerda floja, el trapecio y los saltos de gran altura, además de la bala de cañón humana. A lo largo de su carrera, sufrió varios accidentes y lesiones, el más grave de los cuales terminó su carrera en 1891. Además de su labor en el circo, fundó una compañía de ópera con su esposo e interpretó algunos papeles de canto en sus producciones. También dedicó tiempo a escribir y realizar exposiciones para promover el uso de las redes de seguridad. (es) Rossa Matilda Richter (7 April 1860–8 December 1937), who used the stage name Zazel, was an English aerialist and actor who became known as the first human cannonball at the age of 17. She began performing at a very young age, practicing aerial stunts like tightrope walking in an old London church. She took up ballet, gymnastics, and trapeze by the time she was 6 and, at 12, went on tour with a travelling acrobat troupe. In 1877, she was the first person to be fired out of a cannon, in front of a large crowd at the Royal Aquarium. Journalists and the public voiced concerns for her safety from the time of her earliest appearances as Zazel. She was named by a lawmaker as one of the reasons for proposed legislation in England to prevent dangerous acrobatic stunts, leading her to take the show to the United States. She toured Europe and North America with circuses including Barnum & Bailey, executing tightrope, trapeze, and high dive routines in addition to the human cannonball. Throughout her career, she suffered several accidents and injuries, the most serious of which largely ended her career in 1891. During time off from the circus, she started an opera company with her husband and took singing roles in some of its productions. She also volunteered time writing and holding exhibitions to promote the life-saving potential for safety nets.

| dbp:quote | The young lady crawls into a huge mortar—a most realistic-looking weapon—with the greatest nonchalance, and, instead of shuddering, we applaud most heartily, and then proceed to watch and to wait with almost breathless eagerness. We follow the progress of the torch for a moment only. We listen to the loud report which follows its application to the powder, and lo! our vision is startled by the sight of a living missile flying through space, and alighting safe and sound in the huge net spread to receive her. Before the smoke has cleared from the vast mouth of the cannon whence she has come she has made her way along the net, and is bowing and smiling upon the stage. (en) [Richter] and all the Female Blondins and the flying trapeze artistes laid the foundations for female performers in the circus. At the end of the eighteenth century, women had first taken part in the circus as equestriennes or as dancers and singers. No longer would they be limited to such acts or as mere decoration; now they could contend equally in dangerous and daring acts, performing as well as any man. Just as the rights for women grew throughout the century, so too did the involvement of women in circus. (en) This ought not to be permitted in a country calling itself civilised. We complain of the Spaniards attending bull-fights, and yet what does a matador, a picador, or a bandillero do, but place himself in a position in which he pins his safety on his skill? Were, however, in Spain children to be hired by speculators and forced to fight in the bull-ring, there would be a universal outcry. And yet we in England allow—nay, we patronise—the exhibition of a child precipitating herself from a great height, or being shot from a cannon for the benefit of a speculator. (en) |
