“USELESS challenged theatre as we know it and gave us all an unforgettable interactive experience that left audiences both questioning societal norms and wanting to party."

THE SHOW

USELESS invites you to step into a world where productivity reigns supreme, autonomy is a luxury, and the clock is always ticking.

Through gripping movement, spoken word, and interactive moments, this immersive piece creates a uniquely personal experience. Will you play by the rules, or break free from them? As the tension between control and choice reaches its peak, USELESS challenges us to rethink how we work, live, and value our time.

The countdown is on...but whose time are we really on?

Audience &
industry feedback

“One of the most ambitious things I’ve been a part of. Marisol is a fantastic maker and knows just how hard to push the boundaries of what’s capable in a space to make something truly striking.”

Ben Quashie, Producer at Brixton House

“This is a hard-hitting message from everyone in present day, in London and all over the world”

Sammy, audience member

"It changes the perspective of how you're seeing technology, and I guess how you're seeing politics as well."

Victor, audience member

"I don't think I have seen a performance that moved me so strongly. I cried, my heart was pounding, it unlocked so many things for me."

Anonymous audience feedback

USELESS can be programmed alongside the end of work as a double-bill.

“I’m really excited to share this urgent piece, as it presents us with timely questions around accepted work patterns and autonomy. The working class “doer” is at the centre of USELESS; with economic inequalities deepening in the world, there is a sense of loss of power.”
