Julia Leyris began her journey in theater at the age of 7 in a small town in France, La Ferté-Milon, the birthplace of the renowned dramaturge Jean Racine. She embarked on her professional acting career at the age of 12, collaborating with various companies such as "Le Favier Theatre" alongside Marc Favier, and "Entre Cour et Jardin" with Antonio Labati, where she honed her skills in performing arts through hands-on experience.

After earning her baccalaureate in living arts and literature from Alphonse de Lamartine Schools in Paris, she pursued both theoretical studies at the faculty of Nanterre (for one year) and practical training at the Areact European School under the guidance of Thierry Atlan in Kremlin Bicêtre, France.

At the age of 25, Julia co-founded her own theater company, "La Troupe du Petit Paris," alongside her associate Aliya Grange. Notably, she secured the esteemed moral rights of Jean Cocteau for their adaptation of "La Voix Humaine" in 2010, staging performances at the Bouffon Theatre and Tremplin Theater in Montmartre.

Having traversed and worked in various countries across Europe, India, and Southeast Asia, Julia resided in Cambodia for nearly 5 years, during which she directed 7 theater productions, organized several concerts, and orchestrated the first-ever staging of a classic opera in Cambodia, "The Magic Flute."

Currently based in Lausanne, Switzerland, Julia dedicates herself to stage direction in theater, collaborating with organizations such as La Paternelle Association and other amateur theater companies.
