HOT BODIES - STAND UP is the title of a musical performance for a performer, a sampler and video projector.
Borrowing from the vocabularies of stand-up comedy, live electronic music and documentary photography, its booklet unfolds Gérald Kurdian's self-fictional journey through the revolutionary aspects of his sexuality.
Like a Dante going through the afterlife, it gives light with humor and physicality to Donna Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto, Annie Sprinkle's Her-Story of Porn, Starhawk's political magic or Paul B. Preciado’s Contra-Sexual Manifesto by seeking the musical and performative transductions of the queer, fetishist or ecosexual political alternatives they defend.
