NÚRIA GUIU SAGARRA

POV explores how the gaze and language shape the way bodies are understood. Drawing from a hysteria visual archive, social-media meme culture, mythology and pop references, the piece unfolds as a sharp and playful lecture-performance where poses, images and words collide. Núria Guiu examines how bodies are read, classified and performed—how a gesture becomes a caption, how a caption becomes an identity, and how visibility shapes our sense of self. Through humour, precision and vulnerability, the work reveals the tension between being seen and being understood, hinting at the spaces of perception, invisibility and echo that lie beyond the image.

Dancer and choreographer based in Barcelona, Núria Guiu Sagarra has worked as a performer with companies such as Cullberg Ballet, Gisèle Vienne, Carte Blanche Dance Company, Ingri Fiksdal, Jasmin Vardimon, La Veronal, and Kobalt Works, among others. Her artistic practice focuses on exploring the relationship between bodies, images, and power relations from a personal, sociocultural, and anthropological perspective, particularly in connection with digital environments, memory, and affect. She has created works such as Likes (selected for the European platform Aerowaves 2018), Spiritual Boyfriends (presented at Grec 2020), Cyberexorcism, MEDIUM, and SUPERMEDIUM (both collaborations with Norwegian choreographer Ingri Fiksdal).
