Fanny de Chaillé is a French artist, stage director and choreographer whose work moves between theatre, dance, performance and installation. Trained in aesthetics, she treats language and the body as materials, often separating spoken text from movement to examine how each produces meaning. Her projects can take the form of performances, lectures, films or spatial situations, bringing performers and audiences into precise experiments with voice, gesture and collective attention.
Since 2024, de Chaillé has directed the Théâtre national de Bordeaux en Aquitaine and its professional school. From Bordeaux, she develops artistic projects alongside a programme centred on transmission, research and new relationships between artists, students and audiences. This institutional role continues a practice shaped by long-term collaborations and by her interest in how works circulate between theatrical, choreographic and visual-art contexts.
Her 2026 programme includes Ultrasensibles, a new creation presented at the TAP in Poitiers on 19 November, at MC93 in Bobigny from 2 to 5 December during the Festival d’Automne, and at Le Lieu Unique in Nantes from 8 to 10 December. In Bordeaux, Quoi qu’il en soit, created with Thomas Hirschhorn for the Capc, runs from 12 November 2026 to 10 January 2027. Together, these projects underline a practice grounded in live experimentation, dialogue and the reinvention of presentation formats.
