“It’s very weird, and extremely funny.” —New York Times

★★★★ “Superbly absurd comedy.” —Guardian

L’Addition plays out like a deranged game of telephone, except that the message being passed is a single scene on an increasingly distorted loop: A man at a café orders a drink. A waiter pours the drink. And a waiter pours the drink. And he cannot stop pouring the drink. Each escalation of the otherwise everyday scenario introduces a more outlandish set of circumstances. Through physical comedy and radical miming, French/UK duo Bert and Nasi expose the nonsensical social scripts that govern our world.

Directed by Tim Etchells (Forced Entertainment).
