LThe M6 channel promises to broadcast a breathtaking performance this Wednesday evening! Léa Kral, 31-year-old from Rochelais, candidate for the new season of “France has an incredible talent” whose third evening of auditions is broadcast this Wednesday, November 6 (9:10 p.m.), practices hair suspension, an ancestral circus discipline and yet little known: held aloft by the hair, the artist performs acrobatic figures as spectacular as they are full of grace.

“A little girl or boy’s dream is to fly. This is what I feel when I am suspended,” confides the aerial dancer.

For “France has incredible talent”, Léa Kral offers a two-minute variation of her number “1,000 faces” in which she plays a warrior goddess fighting her inner demons.
The child from Vieux Port, passed through Fromentin, is not a child of the ball but not far off. Her mother working at La Coursive, she was able, in her younger years, to walk behind the scenes and thus let her vocation grow. All that will remain is to see it one day in the famous neighboring room of the Vieux Port to complete the circle.
