Fanny de
Chaillé likes rock, ever since her teenage years. However, she rather chose theatre.
For the distance it gives her. To explain this choice, she has conceived of a
"subjective lecture on rock, full of love and feelings." To the left of a stage
in front of which the public crowds, standing, as in the orchestra pit of a
concert hall, she reads the text that she has written on this subject. But it is
on the performer Christine Bombal that the spectators fix their gaze, she who
gives substance to Fanny de Chaillé's words as well as to the spirit of
rock\'n'roll, whose such strongly referenced postures she represents, in
mini-skirt and leather boots. A natural phenomenon or a human construction? An
amazing moment of authenticity or the reign of artifice par excellence? The
abolition of form or an ultra-coded score? A community with the spectators or a
sham encounter? Fanny de Chaillé deciphers the mechanisms of rock, from
performance to identification. With a great deal of skill, she draws a parallel
between them and those of the theatre, banging together the concepts until she
makes the stereotypes crack. At the end of the simple and precise
demonstration, the disturbing conviction emerges that between rock and theatre,
the freer of the two is not the one that spontaneously comes to mind... LP
