Bring along friends, neighbours, and lovers to this extraordinary music and dance experience with choreographer, singer-songwriter, and queer activist Ivo Dimchev. ‘Di/Strauss Technique’ has already garnered success on various international stages. Inspired by the music of Johann Strauss II, the King of the Waltz, Dimchev has created his own ‘healing songs’ and choreographies, which he now shares with the audience. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a goody bag filled with ribbons, fans, pompoms, and even ‘shots’. This way, every spectator becomes a participant in a collective ritual of extravaganza, queer humour, operetta kitsch, and camp catharsis.
Choreography Assistant: Christian Bakalov
Sound Design: Borislav Boiadjiev
