In Hell with Ivo | WATCH DOCS

A wild, rebellious portrait of a man who turned provocation into a weapon against prejudice. Bulgarian vocalist, performer, and artist Ivo Dimchev lives to shock. In performances that blur the line between stand-up and drag, he relentlessly challenges taboos, mocks political correctness, and dismantles stereotypes. Blending queer sensitivity with Balkan beats, he dives headfirst into questions of identity, faith, politics, and activism. The filmmakers follow him onstage and off - from underground clubs in Bulgaria to intimate apartment concerts during the pandemic. For Ivo, nothing is off-limits: he speaks candidly about living with HIV, about sex, and the traumas of his youth. His flair for excess is not just art, it’s a survival strategy in a world still steeped in prejudice.
