About me

I’m Alix, a Paris-born actress 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 cchallenges me every time as an actress!

I’m always looking for projects that challenge and inspire, ready to dive in and create meaningful work.
