Two performers armed with—or trapped in—a single scene. A customer orders a drink from a waiter, and then things go awry. Played again and again, the scene starts spinning out of control. Nightmarish spiral or grotesque farce? Roles flip back and forth, who’s serving and who’s being served? Directed by Forced Entertainment Artistic Director Tim Etchells, and created with the brilliant performance duo Bert and Nasi, L’Addition orchestrates a complex, hilarious and explosive performance from the simplest materials. Together, they play with the mechanisms of theatre as much as with power relationships—but in the end, someone has to pay the bill.
This production of L’Addition is an English version of the French production commissioned by Festival d’Avignon in 2023.
