The story of American dancer Loie Fuller, a Midwestern vaudeville performer who performed with Buffalo Bill before becoming a world-famous star of Belle Epoque Paris and the embodiment of the Art Nouveau movement with her elaborate productions of ephemeral, shape-shifting abstractions. Fuller developed a completely new kind of spectacle which combined dance, fabric and movement, and became famous on her own terms - unapologetic about her body type and open about her sexuality.
