Ivo Dimchev, a queer performance artist from Bulgaria whose brash charm has been known to compel people to take their clothes off and join him onstage — it happened at Joe’s Pub last month — has questions. And more questions.
Would you choose to have a monument of Madonna or of Marina Abramovic in Washington Square Park? What does a show need most: good music, good choreography or a good story? Who would you rather have sex with: Biden, Putin or the Dalai Lama?
For “In Hell With Jesus/Top 40,” opening at La MaMa on Thursday, Dimchev is full of queries, including one that swings back to his title: Would you rather be in hell with Jesus or in heaven with Trump?
