Voicing Choreography
The public will remember the Bulgarian artist Ivo Dimchev who presented his radical solo Lili Handel as part of IstanbulREconnects Program organized in 2006 by Bimeras. Dimchev, who is the recipient of French Critics Best Performance of the Year Award in 2008 with Lili Handel, returns to iDANS with another powerful physical/vocal performance.In the improvised concert/performance Concerto which undoubtedly requires extraordinary physical dexterity and virtuosity, Ivo Dimchev’s voice subtly travels between the extremes of affects, yet neither laughing nor crying, always remaining in a poetic liminality crafted by the artist and his musical collaborator Emilian Gatzov. Dimchev captivates the audience who feels prompted to ask, “Ivo, how many bodies can you embody?”For more information about the artist you can visit http://www.ivodimchev.com
Gustavia will be performed on 27/28.10.2009 at iDANS International Festival of Contemporary Dance and Performance organized by Bimeras Cultural Foundation. Noémie Solomon interviewed Mathilde Monnier about Gustavia and her collaboration with La Ribot.
