Known as an irreverent and provocative performance artist, the chameleon-like queer Bulgarian choreographer, performer, and activist has recently been exploring the universe of sound. Musical research is now the core of his practice, with lyrics that weave a dark poetry around the listener. His is equal parts carnal and sweet, capricious and elegant. With a stage presence oscillating between rock star and “prima donna,” Dimchev rips out your heart and licks it before leading you onto the club dance floor.. Truly a master of performance, Dimchev’s emotional voice will move even the coldest of creatures.His voice somehow always remains in a poetic borderland, a perfect balance of melodies and rhythms. The Bulgarian-born artist turns his voice into an inexhaustible resonating body, sometimes bluesy, sometimes romantic, sometimes melancholy, sometimes techno, but always powerful.
Besides his artistic work Ivo Dimchev gives master classes in the National theater academy in Budapest , the Royal dance conservatorium of Belgium in Antwerp, Hochschule der Künste in Bern, DanceWeb in Vienna etc.
He is founder and director of Humarts foundation in Bulgaria and organizes every year a National competition for contemporary choreography.

"Wherever it says Ivo Dimchev, there’s pure entertainment inside." European-cultural-news
"The fact that I felt so much pleasure this evening touched me, because I realize that it is not often that I experience that freedom in a theater hall. And I'm not the only one: the whole room seems to vibrate with joy. That is also what this work requires and needs: a willing audience who wants to create the evening together with Dimchev. He depends on us, and we depend on him. A unique theater experience." Theater Krant NL
