Nathalie trained at the École Nationale du Cirque, then at the Conservatoire National Supérieur d’Art Dramatique in Paris, studying under Pierre Vial and Gérard Desarthe. She has appeared in numerous plays by both classical and contemporary playwrights, always blending the powerful physical energy of the circus with her acting, and has also worked in film and television. In 2001, she founded her own school for introductory circus arts in Paris, “Jour de Cirque,” where she teaches students of all ages. In 2014, she staged a solo performance based on the text La Luitote by Marcelle Barreau, her mother, to whom she pays tribute through the theatrical performance.
She joined Le Désert en Ville for the production Souviens-toi d’avant l’aube, in which she participated as an actress in the creative process.
