Léa Dumont was born in Cannes and began her theatrical training in 2015 at the Alexandre III Conservatory under the direction of Alain Terrat. In 2018, she moved to Paris to pursue her acting studies, first at Les Enfants Terribles with Jean-Baptiste Fetussi, and then in 2020 at Le Lucernaire with Philippe Person and Philippe Calvario.
In 2022, she performed 96 shows of Le Malade Imaginaire by Molière at Le Lucernaire, playing the role of Angélique in a production directed by Philippe Person and Florence Le Corre, with the collective Mot à Maux. That same year, she also appeared in L’Hôtel du Col, an original work by Bastien Wasser, at the Tota Compania theater in Toul.
In 2024, she portrayed Sophie in Par les villages by Peter Handke at the Théâtre Montansier, directed by Malik Faraoun. Continuing this collaboration, she will take on the role of Natacha in Tchekhov’s Les Trois Soeurs at the Théâtre Montansier in June 2025. She will also direct Ödön von Horváth’s Le Jugement Dernier at the same venue in May 2025.
Léa has taken part in numerous professional development workshops, including an AFDAS immersive theater course led by Compagnie A2R in 2023, a TCIC workshop at L’École du Jeu with Melody Walters, and a training session with ERACM in June 2023 alongside Delphine Salkin and Aurélie Leroux.
