[1][2][3] Throughout her career spanning several decades, she stood out as one of the pioneering female clowns in Mexico, while also actively advocating for labour rights within her profession.
Adela Peralta Leppe began her career in 1948 when she joined the artistic company "México Lindo" in Acapulco, and then toured Mexico and Central America with them.
She later formed her own ballet company called "Las Leppe Sisters", which performed alongside artists such as Damaso Pérez Prado and Bill Haley & His Comets in Mexico and in Europe.
[4] In the 1950s, Peralta Leppe began visiting primary schools to provide entertainment, as many families couldn't afford to hire a clown privately.
Alongside Dolores del Río, she was an ardent campaigner for the construction of childcare centres for women affiliated with the ANDA.
