Join us on Saturday, December 7th at 7:30pm for a screening of Obsessed with Light, a film about Loïe Fuller, at the Quad in New York City.
“Obsessed with Light is a meditation on light and the enduring obsession to create. The film pulls back the curtain on Loïe Fuller, a wildly original performer who revolutionized the visual culture of the early 20th century. But it is not a bio-pic. Creating a dialogue between the past and the present, the documentary delves into the astonishing influence Fuller’s work has on contemporary culture including artists like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Taylor Swift, Bill T. Jones, Shakira and William Kentridge, among many others. In the process, the film uncovers commonalities that connect these creative luminaries to Fuller and each other.”
After the screening of the film, a Q&A will be held with Zeva Oelbaum, Sabine Krayenbühl, and Jody Sperling, with Time Lapse Dance. The discussion will be moderated by Wendy Perron, dancer, writer and educator.
