The Poetry Brothel: Masquerade

This year’s masquerade will be a whirling disco ball of costumed time travel with masked mavens of every epoch. Whether your midnight reverie is the golden visage of Versailles twilight OR the Medico della Peste staring back at you from the obsidian surface of a Venetian canal, it matters not. Perhaps you fancy fangs and fore-claws to capes and cowls, or maybe it is some vision of a distant future fantasy that throbs your chambered heart. All beguiling disguises are welcome at this year’s Masquerade!

To help you with your evening's attire, Vivo Masks is sponsoring this event. Once you buy your tickets, message us here at [email protected] to request your 15% off discount code. All beguiling disguises are welcome at The Poetry Brothel's Annual Masquerade!

The Madame presents a rotating cast of poets, each operating within a carefully crafted character, who share 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 fee, all of the poets are available for these sequestered readings at any time during the event.

Of course, any true bordello need a good cover; ours is an immersive cabaret featuring poetry, burlesque, live music, vaudeville, aerials, visual art, magic, and mysticism, with newly integrated themes, performances and installations at each event.

-Doors open at 7pm, and the show begins promptly at 7:30.
Masks, costumes, and extravagant dress are encouraged but not required.
