Synopsis
Nothing in her background destined LoĂŻe Fuller from the American Midwest to become a Belle Epoque icon, even less a dancer at the Paris Opera. Even at the risk of destroying her back and burning her eyes with the stage lights, she will never falter in the quest to perfect her dance. But her meeting with Isadora Duncanâa young prodigy hungry for gloryâwill lead to her downfall.
