Agrupación Señor Serrano | Birdie, Object Theater/Film

Agrupación Señor Serrano is an internationally acclaimed theater collective founded in Barcelona in 2006 by Alex Serrano. Known for its innovative fusion of live performance, video, scale models, and digital technology, the company creates visually striking works that examine contemporary society through layered storytelling. Their productions often juxtapose reality and fiction, exploring themes such as globalization, media influence, and human behavior. With a collaborative creative process, Agrupación Señor Serrano has toured extensively across Europe and beyond, earning recognition for pushing the boundaries of theatrical form and engaging audiences in complex, thought-provoking narratives.

Birdie by Agrupación Señor Serrano is a haunting multimedia performance that interweaves live action, video projection, soundscapes, and more than 2,000 miniature figures to construct parallel worlds in tension. Drawing loosely on the ominous atmosphere of The Birds, the piece channels fear through recurring images of birds in flight and descent. Two seemingly disparate narratives unfold: one reflecting ecocide, displacement, and human exploitation, and another suggesting an idyllic yet equally fragile reality. Through cinematic framing and real-time manipulation of models, the performers reveal how media shapes perception and obscures truth. Dualities—beauty and devastation, distance and proximity, control and chaos—drive the work’s structure. As these layered images collide, Birdie becomes an unsettling meditation on global inequality and resilience, inviting audiences to question what they see and how meaning is constructed.
