Actress and director Julie Duclos trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur d'Art Dramatique (class of 2010). She presented her first show there: Fragments d'un discours amoureux, based on a play by Roland Barthes. In 2012, she created Masculin/ Féminin, a work in progress in which the boundaries between reality and fiction are freely explored. Two years later she reunited with the same group of actors to direct (in collaboration with Guy-Patrick Sainderichin) Nos Serments, based on Jean Eustache's La Maman et la putain, at the Théâtre national de la Colline. It was also at La Colline, where she was associate artist from 2015 to 2017, that she staged MayDay, by Dorothée Zumstein (2015) and Pelléas et Mélisande by Maurice Maeterlinck (2019), which premiered at the Avignon Festival. The show is presented at the Odéon in 2020, where she returns two years later with Lars Norén's Kliniken. Julie Duclos is an associate artist at the Théâtre national de Bretagne in Rennes.
