Agrupación Señor Serrano is a theater collective from Barcelona founded in 2006 that has become an international referent for its exploration of new theatrical languages. Created by Àlex Serrano and later expanded with multidisciplinary collaborators such as artist Pau Palacios, among others, the company stands out for mixing physical theater, performance, live audiovisuals, maquettes, and new technologies in shows that question the grand narratives of our contemporary society.
Scenic innovation and hybrid languages
With their own unique style, Señor Serrano blends film images, everyday objects, real-time projections, and music, creating a unique theatrical universe that connects with today’s audiences. Their work departs from traditional narrative conventions to offer a theatrical experience that is at the same time poetic, critical, and provocative. Their plays often focus on global issues such as technological progress, globalization, the environmental crisis, and the cultural myths that shape our understanding of the world.
Señor Serrano’s international career and recognition
Throughout their career, Agrupación Señor Serrano has performed at numerous festivals and theaters around the world, establishing themselves as one of the most innovative voices on the contemporary European scene. In 2015, they received the Silver Lion at the Venice Biennale, one of the most prestigious awards in international performing arts, a recognition that placed the collective at the forefront of the global theater scene.
Among its best-known works are Brickman Brando Bubble Boom, which reflects on economic speculation; Birdie, a production that contrasts golf and migration with a striking staging; and A House in Asia, a fragmented and ironic reconstruction of the capture of Bin Laden. All of them exemplify the company’s ability to combine intellectual rigor with a powerful and highly visual aesthetic.
Señor Serrano’s commitment to artistic innovation and constant research has made the company a benchmark for programmers, critics, and audiences. Their work, always in dialogue with current events, places Barcelona and Catalonia on the international map of advanced performing arts.
With an expanding trajectory and a radically contemporary theatrical language, Agrupación Señor Serrano continues to break new ground and consolidate itself as one of the most unique and essential theatrical proposals of our time.
