One of the most spellbinding color illusionists of the last century left her spectators dazzled to near-mystical proportions. 

Loïe Fuller (1862-1928) was pioneer of choreography and an innovator of theatrical lighting, holding patents for creating color gels and using chemical salts for luminescence.

When she took to the stage dressed in flowing silk costumes specially lit according to her own schemes, she transformed into a full-fledged magician.

Employing only voluminous colored silks illuminated by beams of light, Fuller performed what amounted to a shamanic ritual, convincing her spectators that a sacred metamorphosis was unfolding. 

Fuller evoked the primal power of the bonfire, depicted the wonder of new life, and enacted the elevation of the soul into boundless essence.

She transformed herself into a thousand colourful images before the eyes of her audience.  Unbelievable

The significance of Loïe Fuller’s performance can hardly be exaggerated. 

She created her own myth.
