In 2019, Larissa drew acclaim for her film debut in Denis Côté’s Ghost Town Anthology (selected to compete at the 69th Berlinale); her portrayal of the fragile and mystical Adèle was unanimously lauded by critics, who called her the “revelation of the film.” She went on to act in several other film productions: Denis Côté’s Social Hygiene, That Kind of Summer and Mademoiselle Kenopsia; Stéphane Lafleur’s Viking; and Ara Ball’s Hurricane Boy Fuck You Tabarnak!

Larissa has been lauded for her versatility and solid physical technique, and has worked with a number of Montréal choreographers and performers, including Estelle Clareton and Geneviève La.
