The Selfie Concert
Ivo Dimchev (Bulgaria)Venue in Daugavpils (230km from Riga)!
“Selfie is a choreography, Selfie is a sculpture, Selfie is a tragedy, Selfie is love.
Selfie is less about me, It’s more about us. ” I.Dimchev
Ivo Dimchev only sings and performs when audience members take selfies with him. Together with the audience, this creates a joyful game of self-dramatization. Performed musically and with great gesture, each performance remains improvised and unique.
