Step into a world where the air is thick with desire, and every moment pulses with the heartbeat of liberation. As the sun sets on the city skyline, immerse yourself in an evening of unabashed sensuality and captivating performances that pay homage to the beauty of queer love and identity.
In the heart of the pulsating metropolis, our 104-year-old venue beckons, adorned with flickering candles, draped in luxurious silks, and creating an atmosphere ripe with anticipation. The stage serves as a sanctuary for the spoken word to intertwine with live music, casting a spell upon all who dare to enter. Prepare to be mesmerized as enchanting aerialists gracefully dance through the air.
Indulge your senses with a tantalizing array of tapas, each bite a symphony of flavors that ignite the palate. Revel in the poetry of renowned wordsmiths, whose verses echo with the passion and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community. From tender sonnets to fierce manifestos, each poem is a love letter to authenticity and the unapologetic pursuit of happiness.
Madam Tallula presents a rotating cast of poets who impart their work as purveyors of private poetry readings in secret, hidden, well-appointed chambers. You may avail yourself of your choice of poet for tokens at any time during the event.
