Ivo Dimchev
Ivo Dimchev (Bulgraria)
“Dimchev understands “performance” in the largest possible terms. It consists of whatever you do to feel alive.” Apollinaire Scherr, FT.com
Last seen at the Perforiation Festival at LaMama in March, Ivo Dimchev, returns to present his solo, Som Faves based on his favorite topics from a list of 100 topics (subjects, objects or people). Armed with a wig and keyboard, Dimchev presents us with a seemingly incoherent collection of topics, which nevertheless gradually build up an intimate portrait and a tragic-comic demonstration of various ways of dealing with form and content within the context of contemporary dance and theater. Dimchev is a choreographer and performer from Bulgaria. Read more »

Make a Date with Chris Dupuis! »
Chris Dupuis
“It’s Time to Talk About Our Future Together” is a relational-performance art piece presented to one person at a time. The artist is seated at a café table with bread and wine, as if he is on a date, but without the other person. Viewers join him at the table one at a time to be his date and have a conversation. The artist asks the viewer a series of questions that one would ask on a romantic date, but which are also designed to test the viewer’s optimism about the future of the world and the fate of humanity in a time of war, environmental destruction, and Western Imperialism.
Meet Chris Dupuis and schedule your one on one performance date by emailing Chris at mr.chrisdupuis@gmail.com. There is only one performance a night, Tuesday, April 26-Sunday, May 1, so be sure to book in advance!
“It’s Time to Talk About Our Future Together” is a free event half hour event beginning at 7pm throughout the festival in the lobby of Dixon Place.
