Isadora

Don’t let them tame you !

There are characters that fascinate and leave an ever lasting impression, a myth. Isadora Duncan (1877-1927) is one of them.

Isadora Duncan was one of those women, born to break patterns. She is considered to be the creator of modern dance and one of the most fascinating and revolutionary figures in the artistic world. Her life, like hier death, was unusual.

She moved to Paris in 1900 where she quickly met with success. She founded a dance school which made many followers. Always with this aesthetic research based on the fluidity of movements. And a great freedom of expression favoring spontaneity and spirituality.

For Isadora Duncan, classical ballet, strict and codified, is “ugly and unnatural”. This is how we witness the birth of modern European dance. And like freedom is revolution, her life was also marked by strong choices, such as having children of different fathers without getting married, or supporting revolutionary Russia. Her extraordinary destiny, her whimsical life and her taste for all freedoms continue to inspire.

A successful bet for the actors who, with all the lyricism inherent in the world of the dancer, embark the spectators in this theatrical biopic in love with freedom and creativity!
