L’ Addition

by Tim Etchells and Bert & Nasi 

Thursday 12 June and Frinday 13 June

Theatre of the Society for Macedonian Studies


The International Forest Festival of the National Theatre of Northern Greece returns to Thessaloniki from 31 May to 13 June with an impressive programme of innovative proposals from the international theatre scene

This year, the city will host productions from England, France, Belgium, Lebanon, South Africa and Uruguay. The festival programme will be accompanied by a series of parallel activities in the form of workshops and discussions.

In the new era that is taking shape around us, it is imperative that theatre stands up to the dominant discourses and moulds new fields of visibility. It is vital that it focuses on the cracks that are opening up in the hegemonic narratives, creates new ways for and loci where minds can meet, and reinvents new possibilities of coexistence. The artists bring with them the personal experiences with which they attempt to make sense of multiple realities that are finding it hard to coexist in a world of extreme contrasts and marginalized communities.

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 & 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.
