Autor: Loie-Fuller (Chicago, US 1862-1928)

Fuller was a dancer pioneer of modern dance and theatrical lighting techniques who openly lived her lesbian sexuality. At home, she experimented with chemicals such as magnesium to produce special color effects cast from different angles on her gauze fabric costume. She was the first to use luminescent salts to create stage lighting tricks. Among his friends were the scientists Pierre and Marie Curie, discoverers of radium. He shared spiritualism sessions with them, to which a mutual friend, the astronomer Camille Flammarion, also attended.
