CRA’P Collaborations 2021
Saturday 6 March at 19h
Can Gomà Theatre – Mollet del Vallès
CRA’P presents “Likes” a performance by Núria Guiu Sagarra
LIKES bases itself on the analysis of two of the most popular Youtube phenomena: cover dance and tutorials and videos on the different tech- niques of yoga. The artist approaches the audi- ence from a socio-anthropological perspective with a speech about the social value of a “like” in our digital societies.
