A Tim Etchells , Forced Entertainment and Bert & Nasi production 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 simple materials. Together, the three of them play with the mechanisms of theatre as much as with power relationships — but in the end, someone has to pay the bill. https://www.junction.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/LADDITION-trailer-3.m4v ‘Very weird and extremely funny’ The New York Times “Tim Etchells’s score and the duo of performers are enchanting” Telerama “with a striking economy of effect, Bert and Nasi are worthy heirs to Monty Python” Télérama ★★★★ ‘Superbly absurd comedy’ The Guardian ★★★★ ‘L’Addition is as inventive and funny as it is challenging’ The Arts Desk ★★★★★ ‘This extraordinary production will live long in the memory.’ Broadway Baby This production is an English version of the French production commissioned by Festival d’Avignon in 2023.
