BIOGRAPHY

Arma Lux, born in 2002 in Lyon, is now based in Paris.

He began as a self-taught filmmaker at the age of 8. In 2012, he formed Okkto, an art collective with whom he has directed around fifty short films including La Mémoire du Silence (2018) and Keep on Shining (2020). In 2022, he directed Blues, which received a limited theatrical release and was nominated for the Rimbaud du Cinéma awards.

At the same time, he studied theatre directing at the Lyon Regional Conservatory, graduating in 2023 with the creation of his play Aria pour un Automate. That same year, at the invitation of theatre directors Geoffrey Rouge-Carassat and Emmanuel Besnault, he created Tempo, a performance presented at the Fribourg International Theatre Festival in Switzerland. He has since developed a practice at the intersection of theatre, dance and film.

In 2026, Arma Lux joined the theatre company Specimen. He directed Parade (ballet réaliste) based on Jean Cocteau's work, in collaboration with the choreographer Agathe Paré-Comont. His recent collaborative work also includes the performance Synchronisation Accidentelle and several music videos (including War Pigs by Ukandanz).
