The artist approaches the audience from a socio-anthropological perspective with a speech about the social value of a “like” in our digital societies. 
COVER DANCE & YOGA Dance choreographies made on songs from pop stars acumulates milions of viewers, likes and shares. The dance choreographies are created specifically by some individuals for its appropriation and re-performance, so milions of people covers and re-post in social media their personal interpretation of the dances through this very popular phenomenon in internet called: Cover Dance. The phenomenon started in South Korea influenced by K-pop music, dance and visuals. LIKES takes as a physical material base some of this highly liked dances in social media as well as another phenomenon also very popular on the internet: Yoga. Internet has facilitated the emergence of new hybrid forms of yoga such as: Yogalates, yogavoga, yogadance, yogabeer, yogagoat, yoganude, yogarave&hellip;
LIKES The likes are a virtual tool used by most of the people nowadays and especially by new generations through the social network. There might be several reasons why one would like to get or give likes in internet. For some, the likes, are a powerful tool to express empathy and support to a certain content or person. For others, the likes opens a new dimension related to prestige and economy. Since there are many companies and coorporations which are taking use of the likes (buying and selling) for economical purposes (to scale withina very competitive and hierarchical global market) the likes are taking a new dimension as a tradable symbol of social prestige. Which place takes the body, the shape, the appearance, the image of the body so many times exposed through social media, in relation to the likes? Which place are taking the likes, as new symbols of social prestige, in relation to its commercialization and indirectly maybe with the commercialization of the body and its image through interent?
When we talk about likes, are we talking just about pressing a button on the internet? Or we are also talking about the way we look, we read and understand the other?

- Núria is a beast that catches your gaze

- she expresses with her body all this other content: reflection or thesis that finally frees dance from words
