***NO LATE SEATING***

The creation of the mortgage system. Tahitian paradises. 150,000 foreclosures in Spain in 2012. Marlon Brando. Using live feed video, rhythmic music, and minimalist choreography, Agrupación Señor Serrano creates a searing indictment of rampant consumerism and the speculative bubble. Brickman Brando Bubble Boom is an exuberant manifesto on the right to housing and the search for a home.

Agrupación Señor Serrano is a Barcelona-based performing arts company, founded in 2006, that combines theatre, dance, video-art, and interactive technologies to explore human aspirations and the abuse of power. rserrano.com

“Constant dismantling of format and genre, fun experimentation, and simplicity of form paired with deep social and existential questioning.”
