Born in 1990, Léa Carton de Grammont is a director, author, and actress. She grew up in Lozère, then moved to Paris where she attended a literary preparatory class, followed by a master's degree in Literature and Arts at the University Paris Diderot-Paris 7. At the same time, she undertook acting training at the drama conservatories of the 19th and 8th arrondissements. There, she staged "La Colonie" by Marivaux, as well as two texts she wrote: "Once upon a time there was silence, a musical comedy," and "Eighteen."
Léa then became an associate director at the Institut Français de Ljubljana for two years; she co-directed (with Victor Thimonier and Pierre Andrau) "Madame Ka" by Noëlle Renaude, and "L'Européenne" by David Lescot. These plays are performed by about a hundred Slovenian high school students at the National Popular Theatre of Celje.
She is also an assistant director for the author Abdel Hafed Benotman, Marc Ernotte ("Le corps sonore, dis-je," Abbey of Royaumont), Michel Richard ("Ruy Blas," Summer Evenings in Luberon), and Émilie Anna Maillet (Kant, Cie Ex Voto à la lune).
She maintains a long collaboration with Victor Thimonier (director of Cie Les Temps Blancs), for whom she writes A Brief History of the Mediterranean. Awarded in 2016 by the Lyon Days of Theatre Authors, the text receives the encouragement grant from Artcena before being published by Lansman.
From 2015 to 2018, she follows the directing training at ENSATT in Lyon. During the creation of The Parable of Gutenberg, which she writes and directs, she founds PTUM Cie to experiment with a theater engaged with material.
In 2019, she is invited by actor Arthur Amard to direct As Long as There Are Sheep, a delegated production of the Comédie de Caen (on tour).
In 2020, she writes So I Turn It Off?, a commission for Les Controverses de la Comédie de Valence, directed by Alice Vannier.
In 2021, she writes and directs Rêverie Carcasse.
