A moment to stress the importance of or physical and sexual forces in the inventions of our bodies, our storytelling and our future utopias

Hot Bodies (Stand up)” is the title of a live performance for Gerald Kurdian, two electronic instruments, a sampler and a vocoder, and the participation of a female choir set up for the occasion. Borrowing to the vocabularies of opera, stand-up comedy, choreography and documentary, its libretto tells in 7 chants and 2 danced interludes, the encounters of an anti-hero called Tarek X on his way through the sexual revolutions of the XXth and XXIst centuries.

Hot Bodies (stand up) could be imagined as dive in the experiment of our pulsions, a moment to stress the importance of or physical and sexual forces in the inventions of our bodies, our storytelling and our future utopias.
