Actualités
A musician, a scenographer, actors and dancers are gathered to make Le Groupe and explore La lettre de Lord Chandos. Fanny de Chaillé, who questioned in her creations our relation to language and its organic extension, find in this centenarian and extraordinarly modern text a field of expertise. Choosing to transform this private confession into a public show, she supplies her thought on language’s power and impasses, offering for the stage a surprising physical translation of a text. This work of art is like a shield against dispossession of meaning to which our modern society is exposed to.
