The Poetry Brothel: Weird Wilde Pride at El Cid

For those who are new to the concept, 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 Poetry Brothel was created in New York City in 2007 by Stephanie Berger and Nicholas Adamski. Now, the troupe has a permanent home in LA, tours nationally, and has sister chapters in cities all over the world. The event is 21+
