Di/STRAUSS Technique
by Ivo Dimchev
Di/STRAUSS Technique is a participatory musical and dance course designed to elevate the audience’s spirit, vocal courage, physical freedom, and desire.
Drawing inspiration from the music of Johann Strauss II, the “King of the Waltz,” Ivo Dimchev composes 10 healing songs and creates playful, choreographies that address the psycho-physical well-being of the contemporary citizen.
Themes such as sexual autonomy, emotional resilience, financial anxiety, self-love, and divine absurdity are explored through lyrics, movement, and interaction. The show unfolds as a communal ritual of joy and irreverence, blending queer humor with operetta kitsch and camp catharsis.
With cotton bags filled with ribbons, fans, pompoms, and more, each spectator becomes a participant—singing, moving, laughing, confessing, and reclaiming their voice.
“ A choir of frivolity. A love letter to all human things. Di/Strauss yourself but let's do it together!! ”
