Presentation

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
