Sergi Casero Nieto \u2013 a Catalan performer originally from Barcelona who has been based in Amsterdam for several years \u2013 is a multifaceted artist working at the intersection of design, historical research, and live performance. With a strong attention to aesthetics, Casero uses performance art as a critical tool to explore contemporary issues. One example is his 2019 video Cryptocurrency Openoutcry<\/em>, in which he investigates the decline of the\u00a0open outcry system<\/em> \u2013 the gestural language once used in stock trading, now replaced by digital technologies.<\/p>\n

His work is deeply rooted in historical memory: his perspective on the present always involves a clear-eyed engagement with the past. The titles of his works clearly reflect this approach \u2013 not as a form of nostalgia, but as a way to understand the complexity and layered nature of reality. Casero examines the present while remaining aware of the roots from which it emerges.<\/p>\n

Casero also confronts the legacy of Franco\u2019s dictatorship. Born in 1991, sixteen years after the dictator\u2019s death, he inherits the pain and stories of previous generations and gives them a voice. In 2019, he created\u00a0Oficina Franco<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Parking Franco<\/em>, two projects that expose the privileges still enjoyed by Franco\u2019s family \u2013 gained during the regime and never truly challenged. His is a profoundly political theatre that seeks to reinterpret history in light of the truths denied or suppressed by dominant cultural narratives.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Casero developed El pacto del Olvido<\/em> (a work hosted at FIT 2025) which weaves together individual and collective memories, opening up a space for reflection on historical research, the reinterpretation of events, and how they are viewed in the present. The piece offers an alternative perspective on sites of memory, filling the voids \u2013 both deliberate and accidental \u2013 left by injustice, fear, power, and dominant narratives.<\/p>\n

Sergi Casero Nieto has established himself as one of the most distinctive voices on the young European performance scene. His performances have been staged at numerous international festivals and institutions, including Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la Ville in Paris, Museo Reina Sof\u00eda in Madrid, Festival delle Colline Torinesi in Turin and the Veem House for Performance in Amsterdam. In recent years, he has been in residence at the F\u00e1brica de Creaci\u00f3n Fabra i Coats<\/em> in Barcelona, at Matadero Madrid, and at Live Works \u2013 Free School of Performance<\/em> at Centrale Fies in Italy, where he is now an associate artist through the Fies Factory<\/em> programme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
