No one could know that Loïe Fuller, who grew up on a farm in Illinois, would become one of the biggest stars of the Belle Epoque in Europe, dancing in the Paris Opera. Under yards of silk she invented her body anew on stage every evening, enchanting the audience with her groundbreaking snake dance.
Loïe took Paris by storm and became an icon for a whole generation. Admirers like Toulouse-Lautrec and Rodin worshipped her. And then she met Isadora Duncan, an encounter that would spell doom for one of the legends of the 20th Century.
