"Kikker picks BORN FOR NOTHING, because in this carefully crafted alternate universe, you are going to question your humanity." - Programmer Jolie

BORN FOR NOTHING exposes the cold mechanics of endless production, alongside the fragile beauty of new life, and poses the question: what does it mean to no longer view living beings as life, but to use them? 

In an abandoned factory hall, workers perform monotonous rituals: one processes it, another packs it, a third removes what does not meet the standards. The beings being created are not seen as living or valuable, but as products. There is no wonder from the factory workers. There is no doubt, no protest – only actions, distance, and automatism. 

The performance shifts between an ecstatic holy trance and a cold production process.  

A post-show talk with director Marieke Heerema will take place after the performance.
