Born in the American Far West, nothing in her background destined Loïe Fuller, a farmer’s daughter, to become the toast of Europe’s Belle Époque cabarets, even less to dance at the Paris Opéra. Hidden behind yards of silk, her arms extended by long wooden rods, Loïe reinvents her body on stage and enthralls her audiences a little more every night with her revolutionary “ Serpentine dance ”. Even if the physical effort risks destroying her back, even if the powerful stage lights sear her eyes, she will never falter in the quest to perfect her art. But her meeting with Isadora Duncan – a young prodigy hungry for glory – may hinder the ascent of this early 20th century icon. . .
