A waiter. A customer. A simple order. And then — chaos. In L’Addition, the brilliant physical theatre duo Bert and Nasi, under the direction of noted British contemporary theatre-maker Tim Etchells, takes a seemingly ordinary restaurant scene and twists it into an absurd, hilarious, and unsettling theatrical experiment.The two performers are armed with (or trapped in) a single scene — a customer orders a drink from a waiter. And then things go awry. The same moment plays out again and again, shifting with each repetition — sometimes in silence, sometimes in rapid-fire dialogue — until roles, power, and meaning completely unravel. Is it a nightmare? A farce? A reflection of our own disorienting world?
With razor-sharp timing, physical precision, and dark humor, L’Addition orchestrates a complex hilarious and explosive performance from simple materials and turns the familiar into the surreal, proving that in theatre, as in life, someone always has to pay the bill.
