Rayan Hamda Barhoumi (born September 24, 2001) is a French actor, writer, and independent creator. He is best known for portraying Ymir in the short film The Reclamation of Abberossa (2026), a narrative project he also wrote and produced. In this desert-set epic, Barhoumi plays a rebel archer leading a resistance against a conquering empire. This role introduced his recurring interest in characters shaped by oppression and survival. Barhoumi is also active as a musician under the name Lytcheess, creating atmospheric soundtracks that function as an extension of his cinematic storytelling. He cites the visceral world-building and raw aesthetic of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga as the primary creative influence on his grounded and immersive artistic approach.
