Ivo Dimchev is a theatre maker, choreographer, visual artist, singer-songwriter, and queer activist from Bulgaria. His work is an extreme and colorful mix of performance art, dance, theatre, music, painting, and photography. He is the author of more than 40 stage performances and has received numerous international awards for dance and theater. He has also written more than 100 original songs. 
 
Dimchev’s performances are consistently taboo-shattering, humorous, flamboyant and unexpectedly affecting. Audience members become witting and unwitting co-conspirators, creating novel situations that defy societal and artistic convention.  
 
Beneath Dimchev’s offbeat fun and cheeky theatrics lies a strong fundamental need for strangers in a room to connect inside of a space: whether it’s through song, performance, stand-up comedy or role playing. Though each show unfolds in a new form of dramaturgical chaos, Dimchev always leans on his tentpole subjects to explore the unknowns, the lessons and the nature of time itself – art, love and the body.
