2) HOT BODIES
HOT BODIES is the stage name of French-American musician and performer Gérald Kurdian.
Using the directness of folk music as their primary tool, they have been building a hybrid twilight zone between pop concert and experimental showtime for over a decade, exploring questions of community, embodiment, and queerness.
From art schools, through the Parisian and Brussels underground, to the more experimental stages and clubs of Montreal and Berlin, wherever Gérald goes, they create artistic connections between media, spaces, and people.
This has happened under names like This Is The Hello Monster!, Tarek X, and as the MC (Mother of Ceremony) of the Hot Bodies Club parties and the queer protest Hot Bodies Choirs.
Gérald’s vision and body of work earned them the Prix Paris Jeunes Talents in 2011, and today brings them the collaboration of artists like Chapelier Fou, Laura Cahen, and producer Don Turi on their upcoming EP Digital Fairy / Folk Songs, set for release in May 2025.

3) ANGIE SCHAEFFER
Angie Schaeffer is an enigmatic presence—a muse, a force, a mystical figure whose voice is conveyed through four musicians: Jérémy Michel (modular synthesizer), Ofer Smilansky (synths and effects), Yannick Dupont (drums), and Ruben Orio (percussion and effects). Together, they shape the visions and revelations Angie bestows upon them, translating her burdens and fears into sound.
