How come we never stop? A modern Sisyphus takes on capitalism on his stationary bike.

Sergi pedals incessantly on a stationary bike, to the seductive rhythm of house-merengue beats. The euphoric music urges him, through both joy and pain, to push himself further and further. In any case, he has no choice. Chained to his bicycle, he is forbidden to stop. Following El Pacto del Olvido, presented at FIT in 2025, this time Sergi Casero Nieto explores the insidious neo-capitalist imperative summed up by the slogan “Produce! Enjoy! Improve yourself and smile!”. An unattainable task that breeds chronic dissatisfaction.

This ironic and invigorating performance is an invitation to imagine ways out of the cycle of productivity, also through poetic and utopian strategies, in which rampant individualism is replaced by collective and liberating solutions.
