Performed for the first time in February 2017, in the Sala Hiroshima, Barcelona, Likes, by Núria Guiu, is a diligent exploration into the world of social media, using body and dance as a language. The ‘likes’ of social media have become a tool for social, and even economic, control. Núria Guiu reveals the symbology that emerges from everything aimed towards climbing the ladder of social prestige and obtaining the media’s acceptance, she investigates how the commercialisation of the body (of certain kinds of body) is used by businesses to achieve more ‘likes’ for purely financial reasons. A picture of a facet of modern-day society, executed in a crude, yet magnificent way.
