La Baleine : Théâtre " Numéro Deux"

Adapted from David Foenkinos’s best-selling novel, *Numéro deux* is a poignant play that subtly explores the line between failure and success.

Both funny and moving, it examines fate, shattered dreams, missed opportunities, and the ability to reinvent oneself.

In 1999, an audition for the role of Harry Potter changes the fate of two children: one becomes a global star, while the other sees his dream crumble.

Martin Hill, tormented by this failure, must learn to live with the role that slipped through his fingers and the shadow that follows him everywhere. Every moment reminds him of what he has lost—a world that could have been his.

In Sophie Accard’s inventive staging, four actors bring to life a multitude of characters with a delicate balance between tenderness and irony.

*Number Two* offers a subtle reflection on the place we occupy—or fail to occupy—in a world where dreams are fragile.
