Akarova

Akarova remains the best-known Belgian dancer of the inter-war years, even if she always deliberately shunned the official world of theatre and classical ballet. Akarova strove for the ideal of total art: she did her own choreography and, more often than not, designed and made her costumes, sets and accessories. She handled her own lighting and even drew her own programme.
Akarova seeked unity in a form of autarchy common to all avant-garde movements.
