Description
The Poetry Brothel has always drawn inspiration from Old Hollywood, with its fountains and feathers, its mansions and its maquillage. This October The Madame and Tennessee Pink will pay a pilgrimage to the land that taught them how to turn life itself into a moving picture. Some of your New York favorites, including your host, Mr. Charley, and the lovely Cosette Chapiteau will be gracing the City of Angels with their distinctive brand of devilish delight. The New York cast will be joined by local talents as well: esteemed poet, Daniel Tiffany; house band, The Ken Berry Quartet; and many, many more. Join your poetry whores for the dancings, the drinks, the songs, and the dreamy sneak peaks into their mansions of emotion.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.
