Ivo Dimchev: METCH

METCH is not just a performance. It’s a concert, an exhibition, an auction, and a conversation—sometimes playful, sometimes unapologetically direct. Ivo Dimchev sings, paints, and interacts with the audience, creating and selling his artwork live on stage. Using his signature stamp technique, he turns each show into something unique and unpredictable.

Dimchev is known for his bold, visually striking performances that blur the lines between theatre, dance, music, and visual art. If you know him for his music—yes, he will sing. But expect more. A raw collision with theatre, politics, contemporary art—and with you, the audience.

METCH premiered at La MaMa in New York, where Dimchev, as an Artist in Residence, previously presented In Hell with Jesus / Top 40. He has created over 40 performances, won numerous international awards, and published his work in Stage Works 2002-2016 and Songbook.

What will happen? No one knows. Maybe you’ll buy a painting. Maybe you’ll be part of the show. Maybe you’ll feel something you didn’t expect. One thing is certain: METCH is not a show to just sit and watch. It’s something to experience.
