Program
Avoiding DeLIFEath
Ivo Dimchev
Ivo Dimchev first long durational performance in which he explores his favorite creative activities: teaching, writing, painting, writing songs, giving concert, filming, giving an interview. Each of these activities might morph and transgress along the way. The audience is invited to join at any time.
Avoiding deLIFEath is a total and multiple performance in which Ivo Dimchev presents to the audience a multimedia show anchored in reality as well as artifice.
“There is a moment when things you love to do become a nightmare. And then there is a moment when this very nightmare might become an opening. Whether a nightmare or a blessing, it doesn’t really matter to me.
Because I prefer flying in Hell over crouching in Heaven. I can subvert my work only from the inside. And that is what I mostly expect from myself approaching this long-durational workaholic meditation”. – Ivo Dimchev
