Description
Sweet souls of the darkest hour, once again The Poetry Brothel will saddle up and ride its headless horses into your closets, your pantries, and yes, the very ventricles of your dark arts. This year The Poetry Brothel's 8th annual Masquerade will be a whirling disco ball of costumed time travel with masked mavens of every epoch. Whether your midnight reverie is the Medico della Peste staring back at you from the obsidian surface of a Venetian canal, or the golden visage of Versailles twilight, it matters not; for The Madame's house is yours for the night. On October 25th the house will also belong to special guests Arielle Greenberg, The Hot Club of Flatbush, Foxx Von Tempt, Cassandra Rosebeetle, Matt Cooper, and more. So join us, loves, in love, not simple resignation to this most merry of occasions.ABOUT THE POETRY BROTHEL:The Poetry Brothel is a unique and immersive poetry event that takes poetry outside classrooms and lecture halls and places it in the lush interiors of a bordello. The Poetry Brothel presents a rotating cast of both male and female poets as “whores,” each operating within a carefully crafted character, who impart their work in public readings, spontaneous eruptions of poetry, and most distinctly, as purveyors of private poetry readings on beds, chaise lounges and in private rooms. For a small fee, all of the “poetry whores” are available for these sequestered readings at any time during the event. Of course, any true brothel need a good cover; The Poetry Brothel’s is an immersive cabaret, offering a full bar, musicians, burlesque dancers, painters, actors, and fortune-tellers, with newly integrated themes, performances and installations at each event.
