As far as I can predict now I see strong visuals such as images projected by a beamer to create light structures. Also the neon from the moodboard as a source of unnatural light and other stage lights with multicolored filters. A dark yet colorful setting.

For staging so far I see pieces of walls, symbolizing both the city walls that have closed as well as barricades, where one would stand on to protest. I think this is a very striking resemblance to this generations urge to fight in contrast to their inclination to mental problems such as anxiety and depression.

start to march: personal process, collecting material 1 on 1 with performers based on their own sources and experiences, as well as the text from Les Bouches Inutiles.
march to june: putting everything together into one big performance. During rehearsals the focus will be on how the different sets of material interact and the connection between te performers as individuals. It is the meeting of the personal stories that will bring the new material in this phase.

Personal engagement: without characters, driven by personal feelings and fascination. The play will be mainly text-based but supported by primarily visuals and also movement and music.
I see it as a absurdistic depiction of a dystopic reality, leaving the audience to question what is 'real' and what is fiction.
Think of dramatic expression, enlargement and abstraction, hystericality and humor.

The story is told through the personal perspective of the performers. There are no characters, just people on stage sharing their mind.
The play is set in real-time, but in a bit of a dystopic setting. They are habitants of a city in dire state, closing its city's walls, putting the habitants in isolation. When we are asked to set priorities, what do the useless people say? If they want to leave behind a part of the city, a part of them, don't we die as a whole?
Who shall live - and who shall die?

Casus: The 'Useless Generation' (millenial-gen z) looking for their place in society in between the endless incoming stream of information and countless in- and external expectations.
Phenomenon: with a lack of perspective and a clear sense of self, young people declare themselves useless and unfit to participate in society - caught between spreading inspirational quotes and finding recognition in memes focused on the negative aspects of life.

Song by The Orion Experience about escaping life and finding new meaning in an ecstatic lifestyle. A symbol of the rigorousness of the generation, the opposing side to the overwhelming feeling of uselessness.

The only play Simone the Beauvoir has ever written, about a village in the middle-ages at war in a dire situation. To ensure their own survival, the men leading the city decide to kill of the women and children, for their voices don't matter: they are the 'useless mouths'.
