About me

Hi there!
I’m Alix, an actress working internationally in French, English and Spanish.

Over the past decade, I’ve built my on-camera career across feature films, television and independent cinema with 20+ screen credits, alongside my work in improvisation, physical theatre and immersive performance.

I’m especially drawn to character-driven stories where presence matters as much as dialogue.
