Nothing from Loie Fuller's past foretold that she would someday become a dancer at the Paris Opera, let alone a symbol of the Belle Époque. Even when facing the fear of permanent injury or blindness, the passionate Loie would keep on honing her art. Her meeting with Isadora Duncan, a young, talented and ambitious dancer, marked the beginning of her fall.
