Loïe Fuller est née dans le grand ouest américain. Rien ne destine cette fille de ferme à devenir la gloire des cabarets parisiens de la Belle Epoque et encore moins à danser à l’Opéra de Paris. Cachée sous des mètres de soie, les bras prolongés de longues baguettes en bois, Loïe réinvente son corps sur scène et émerveille chaque soir un peu plus. Même si les efforts physiques doivent lui briser le dos, même si la puissance des éclairages doit lui brûler les yeux, elle ne cessera de perfectionner sa danse.
