Bombyx Mori

At Royal Opera House London.

BOOK HERE

Discover Ola Maciejewska’s reimagination of LoïeFuller’s Serpentine Dances, which enthralled audiences in the 19th century. Mimicking the ebb and flow of water and fire with the help of long reems of silk attached to bamboo poles, Fuller was a force of innovation in theatre and dance. Maciejewska’s modern take of Fuller’s iconic choreography draws on another creature, the silkworm, the Bombyx Mori.

Polish Fashion Stories: Unexpected Encounter – Batik

The earliest known examples of Polish batiks appeared around 1903 at an exhibition in Kraków, when the artist Jan Bukowski presented furniture upholstered in textiles decorated with what was called then “a manner of Easter eggs” - it was before the term batik had even entered the Polish language. From this point, other Kraków artists began to further explore the technique and its possibilities.
