The Poetry Brothel is an interactive poetry experience set up as a decadent fin de siècle brothel. Poets performing under pseudonyms offer private, one-on-one readings of their original work in candlelit back rooms…for money. The main room presents an immersive literary cabaret that fuses poetry, burlesque, live music, vaudeville, aerials, performance art, visual art, magic, and mysticism.
The evening’s festivities will be carried out by the burlesque stylings of Munroe Lilly, Clara Coquette, Puss N’ Boots. Co-hosted by the inimitable Glam Queen Momo Shade. Costumes and/or formal wear are encouraged but not required.
