Martin Bouligand was born in the winter of 1993 in Angers, Maine-et-Loire, and has been involved in theater since secondary school, as a member of an amateur theater company. There he discovered Prévert, Anouilh, Jean-Michel Ribes, Feydeau, Molière, Victor Hugo and Marcel Aymé. After passing his baccalaureate in literature, he decided to audition for the theater department of the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional d'Angers. He spent four years there, at the end of which he obtained his Certificat d'Études Théâtrales. In 2015, he passed the entrance exam for the École Nationale Supérieure d'Art Dramatique du Théâtre National de Bretagne in Rennes, where he joined the ninth graduating class. During his three years of training, he worked in theater, dance and voice under the direction of Éric Lacascade with, among others, Stuart Seide, Mélanie Leray, Dieudonné Niangouna, François Regnault, Emmanuelle Huynh and D' de Kabal. On leaving school, he worked with Les Chiens de Navarre and Jean-Christophe Meurisse in Jusque dans vos bras, then spent three months touring Italian theaters, performing Frédéric Lachkar's Oranges Amères for school audiences. He also toured the vacation camps of EDF's CCAS centers in Brittany with the show Martin/Gabriel et plus personne, directed by Katell Borvon. And more recently, he began dubbing with Guillaume Orsat and Thierry Ragueneau, and was able to work alongside Arié Elmaleh and Sophie de Fürst in Rendez-vous avec le crime, Virginie Efira in Rien à perdre and Grégoire Ludig and David Marsais from the Palmashow for their latest TV show.
