About me

I’m Alix, a Paris-born actress and creator with a passion for storytelling and a multicultural edge.

Fluent in French, English, and Spanish, I’ve worked on feature films in multiple languages and performed improvised theater internationally for over a decade.
Lately, I’ve become very drawn to immersive theater - the closeness of the audience and the blur between reality and fiction is thrilling!

Based in Barcelona since 2009, I bring cultural versatility and authentic energy to every project.
One of my proudest achievements is La Mue, a film I starred in, directed, and produced, a festival-recognized film that marked a milestone in my artistic journey.
The second one is “Voyeur” (currently playing), a theatrical immersive experience which challenges me every time as an actress!

I’m always looking to build or participate in projects that challenge and inspire me, ready to dive in and create meaningful work.
