Abstract
The "serpentine dance", created by Loie Fuller in 1892, was normalized as a variety show in New York. On her arrival in Europe at the end of the that year, Fuller discovered that Mabelle Stuart was plagiarizing her work. After Fuller took legal action, Stuart embarked on a series of tours in Southern France and Spain to finally arrive at Teatro Zorrilla in Valladolid, where public reception was negative. As case study, and by means of a newspaper digitization, this research intends to document Pincian critics and general public’s response to give evidence of the existence, reception and impact, as well as the capital/province duality of early modern dance in order to espond to the coldness with which general public in Valladolid received Mabelle Stuart.
