Details
A concert ? Experimental theatre? Stand up comedy? A provocative quiz show? All of the above? Or simply: Ivo Dimchev!
Ivo Dimchev is a category-blurring Bulgarian queer artist, singer-songwriter and New York-based Theatre Director/Performance.
Artist-In-Residence at La Mama Experimental Theatre Company in NYC.
He Is also the writer and director of more then 40 stage productions presented at top arts festivals across the world.
In his signature concert performance, Dimchev makes heaven and hell collide, again and again, with his mesmerizing voice and darkly profound, transgressive take on human frailties.
“Dimchev inspires a rare form of trust by cultivating an intimate community with the audience.” The New York Times
“Dimchev is a first-rate lyricist, profound even when plain… As a performer, he slides effortlessly between masculine and feminine modes; his vocal range is equally protean, moving from a low baritone to a soprano embellished with theremin-like vibratos.” –The New Yorker
“Dimchev’s voice is one that is always shedding its chrysalis to metamorphose, from low and nasal to high and flutey and everywhere in between. It could be as fine as a brushstroke, then as wide as a cathedral. All at once he scatted and ululated and yodeled, punctuated with grunts. His microphone seemed to drip with butter. “ San Francisco Chronicle
