LOÏE FULLER: RESEARCH

Ola Maciejewska’s first solo performance, Loïe Fuller: Research, reprises the famous Serpentine Dances invented by the American dancer, a controversial figure in Western dance: merging movement with special effects, she would transform into a flame, a rippling sea and other natural phenomena through the use of long swathes of silk attached to bamboo poles. Ola Maciejewska brings the iconic legend face to face with her paradoxes and intangible character.

This work explores how dance connects with its own past. By chronicling dance through the body, the work pursues a singular approach to the history of dance, as well as the transmission and emancipation of this art form.

This program is part of “M+ Live Art”.
