Hot Bodies Live at Institut Français Berlin
A queer, underground experimental pop night.
Hot Bodies, the musical project of Gérald Arev Kurdian, blends pop, electronic music, and performance art. The work explores political and social themes while celebrating queer identities and contemporary imagination through live music and video art. Following a panel discussion with Louise Morel and Annabelle Georgen, Kurdian will present a unique performance, which will be followed by a DJ set to close out the evening. Part of the Nights of Ideas 2026 at the Institut Français Berlin, this project continues Kurdian's exploration of music's role in social struggles and personal metamorphoses.
