L’Addition
Theatre
The international production “L'Addition” premiered at the Festival d'Avignon and has received worldwide acclaim. ‘Very strange and extremely funny,’ according to The New York Times. The Guardian calls it: ‘Extraordinarily absurd comedy.’
A hilarious and disruptive theatre experience
Two performers, armed with (or trapped in) a single scene – a customer orders a drink from a waiter. And then everything goes wrong. Repeatedly performed, the scene begins to spiral out of control. Nightmare-like spiral or grotesque farce? Roles constantly shift. Who is serving and who is being served?
Tim Etchells, artistic director of Forced Entertainment, created L'Addition with the brilliant performance duo Bert and Nasi. A complex, hilarious and explosive performance.
Together they play with the mechanisms of theatre and power relations – but in the end, someone has to pay the bill.
