Julie Birmant and Clément Oubrerie depict a career that began in poverty and reached its climax with the advent of cubism and modern art.
Isadora arrive à Paris en même temps que PICASSO, mais, à l'Expo Universelle 1900, c'est RODIN qu'elle découvre. Et c'est une révélation. Elle qui ne croyait qu'en la beauté simple des Grecs, veut désormais connaître les passions que Rodin a frappées dans le marbre. Et d'abord l'Extase. Plus facile à dire qu'à faire... Pourtant, au gré de ses rencontres, entre le sculpteur et Loïe Fuller quel que soit le continent qu'elle foule, elle approfondit son art, la danse, et jamais ne renonce à l'absolu. Elle traverse les épreuves, les soubresauts, comme une petite flamme magique, qui ne s'éteint jamais.
