Early life and education edit

Labèque studied at the French drama school Cours Florent for three years.[8] One day some agents came by during the class and one of them gave her a card to go through an audition for a film, which ended up being The Trouble-Shooter, her first film.[8]

Labèque did an internship at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York in the summer of 2023.[9]

Career edit

In 2018, Labèque made her film debut in The Trouble-Shooter (Roulez jeunesse),[10] the first feature film by director Julien Guetta.[11] That same year, she appeared as Marion Malinski in the comedy drama film In Your Hands (Au bout des doigts), directed by Ludovic Bernard.[12][13]

In 2019, she played Fanny, one of the main roles in Bertrand Bonello's fantasy film Zombi Child.[14][15][16] Labèque said that working with Bonello confirmed her desire to make acting her profession.[9] For her performance in the film, she was one of the young actresses shortlisted to compete for the César Award for Most Promising Actress, but did not get the nomination.[17]

In 2021 and 2022, she played the role of Lisa Dayan in the television series In Therapy (En thérapie), created by Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache.[18]

For her performance in the 2021 short film The Toddler (Le Têtard) directed by Nathalie Lenoir, she was nominated for the Most Promising Actress award at the 2021 Festival Jean-Carmet in France,[8] and won the award for Best Performance at the 2022 Vertigo Film Fest in Italy.[19]

In 2022, she landed the lead role in the film Coma by Bertrand Bonello, a hybrid live-action and animated film in which she plays the role of a young girl who navigates between dreams and reality, until she begins to follow a disturbing and mysterious YouTuber named Patricia Coma.[20]

In 2023, she starred in Annie Colère by Blandine Lenoir,[21] and in Toni, en famille by Nathan Ambrosioni.[22]

In 2024, she appeared as Sarah Dulac in the French miniseries Nudes, directed by Andréa Bescond.[9]
