Singing is a way for human beings to connect to their deeper selves and to give a listen to their inner voices. Sexual minorities seem to carry throughout time many underlying emotions, unanswered oppressions and traumas the normative world doesn’t offer any space to heal in.
The Hot Bodies – Choir workshop is thought as a place for the expression of these unspoken affects, a place to tell, to voice out and to become the supporting voicing body of others.
The Hot Bodies – Choir workshop gather queer, LGBTIE+ and feminist individuals around writing and choir singing practices.
In their frame, one exchanges experiences and ideas from the reading of queer-feminist manifestos towards the collective writing of revolutionary texts.
These unique, polyphonic and unruly texts, hence constitute the basis of a choral score, arranged musically by Gérald Kurdian and performed live by all the participants.
The HOT BODIES – CHOIR workshops gather queer, LGBTIEA+ and feminist individuals around writing and choir singing practices.
In their frame, one exchanges experiences and ideas from the reading of queer-feminist manifestos (Scum Manifesto – Valérie Solanas, Cyborg Manifesto – Donna Haraway, etc) towards the collective writing of revolutionary texts.

HOT BODIES – CHOIRS is the third project of Gérald Kurdian’s research cycle HOT BODIES OF THE FUTURE around sexual revolutions.
