The main incentive for creating this performance is the idea of the human body as a subject of physical and aesthetic consumption.

‘From its very start, the performance defies all expectations. It declares nudity and indecency. All movements are trance-like, mechanical rhythms. The almost inarticulate speech, the strange curves of the voice leave behind a feeling of something non-human, of someone who has transgressed the boundaries of his/her own self.Lili Handel is constantly attempting to find a state of stability somewhere between the personal downfalls and notions of grace. (S)he impersonates a rhythmic gymnast playing with a ribbon, but something always goes wrong. (S)he puts a shinning necklace round his/her face, and it looks like the reins of a horse. (S)he sings a song over a looping vinyl. Attempt, failure, attempt, failure... (S)he wavers between his/her desires uncertainties.’

Ivo Dimchev, born in 1976, is one of the most promising talents of Bulgarian contemporary dance. After finishing his studies, he took several courses (butoh, improvisation, voice training etc.) mainly abroad. He makes choreographies with Bulgarian and foreign partners as well and takes part in festivals all over Europe. Besides dancing and choreographing, he composes music (for other prose and dance productions, too), plays in experimental films and is a photographer.
