Choreographer, singer-songwriter, and queer activist Ivo Dimchev brings together in his performances high culture and subculture, pop and Balkan folklore. In DI/Strauss technique, he transforms the intoxicating potential of Johann Strauss’s music into a sweat-in ducing musical workout with the audience. Based on the music of the Waltz King, Dimchev creates his own ‘Healing Songs’, with which he evokes different parts of the body.
From 18 June to 5 July 2026, Chemnitz will be in the international spotlight: Germany's largest international theatre festival "Theatre of the World" is coming to Chemnitz - directly following the Capital of Culture year 2025. For three weeks, Chemnitz will be a meeting place for artists, audiences and theatre enthusiasts from all over the world. A lively celebration of the performing arts will take place on stages, in urban spaces and in unusual locations, overcoming borders and bringing together stories from all over the world.
Nine international curators from Australia, Canada, Colombia, Argentina, South Africa, Greece, Jordan, India, Senegal and China are responsible for the festival programme. They will meet in Chemnitz in November to select around 40 outstanding productions - works that they have previously viewed in their regions. The result is an inspiring panorama of current theatre forms, languages and perspectives.
