In "L’Addition," brilliant theatre duo Bert and Nasi turns an ordinary restaurant scene into a hilarious theatrical experiment.

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.

Tickets are $25.00 for general admission and $10.00 for students with ID and youth 18 & under.
