Practical

At the Théâtre des Sept Collines in St Etienne

Blood, poetry and music are at the centre of this performance in which the Bulgarian choreographer pushes back the boundaries of representation by exposing his body as a physical and aesthetic consumer object.

Between dance and theatre, Ivo Dimchev uses the human body as a physical and musical instrument to draw in the spectator.

Ivo Dimchev's powerful solo performance exposes the body as a multi-demonstrative reality and emphasizes that the body is not only a form perceived essentially visually but also comprises an interior.

Dimchev transmits this innerness to the audience in every way: voice, movement, language - even his blood - making a violent personal commitment. But who is this mysterious Lili Handel, fearful and fragile, who exalts all her suffering to make us finally tremble?
