On this night we exalt the short form poem, showing you just how much dirty work and filthy fun can get done in a small amount of time.

How important is love to your sexual connection? Is it essential? Immaterial? A beautiful bonus that can increase intensity? Let’s explore it together.

Love, sex, desire can make Gods & Monsters of us all, often both at the same time.

Spill it. Whisper. Shout. Welcome to a confessional unlike any other.

For our breath of life, our muse, our most delicious, and deliciously messy liaison... New Orleans. Plus, a special sneak peek of 20 Words.

How we experience, perceive, and wield words is deeply personal and unique. They can be both the cause of wonder and of conflict. Our Provocateurs will choose five words from a list of 20, suggested by our audience, and write a piece highlighting how different and similar each of our individual relationships are to language.

We often don’t say goodbye the way we wish we could have. It takes time and perspective to know exactly what and how we feel. Come feel it with us.

…Of Love, Of Trust, Of Self, Of Sex.

Join us as we re-experience some of our favorite, previous pieces of erotica reworked, reimagined, and revived. Liked the original? Wait until you hear the Remix.

This is the end. After it all falls down, who are we? What desires remain? On this night our Provocateurs offer up a collaborative writing experience, bringing you into a world that is both removed and familiar as we explore ‘Edging the Apocalypse.’

Our Provocateurs submit to the kink of form poetry, finding out just how creative they can be when bound by structure, by rules inflicted on their words.

As humans beings, we are excited and impassioned by the art we see and how it changes us. This night is dedicated to those moments when a feast for the eyes only ignites more hunger.

Sometimes fear and sex intersect. This Halloween season we are going all out for an erotica show unlike our others. We’re bringing you the dark, macabre, and violent.

Fucking throughout all of human history has been a lot more interesting than you’ve been led to believe.

There is a special sensuality to a lover whose name tastes like pear or whose voice sounds like purple. On this night, our local provocateurs will translate their memories of people, of loves and lovers, across the senses, summoning a stimulating evening of synesthetic erotica.

Join us as we reimagine the Major and Minor Arcana for a sixth year at an evening of magic and erotic weavings.

Be it volume, texture, feelings, or moments, Esoterotica’s provocateurs are often bombastic, this night is the opposite.

At our January 29th show we will be asking the audience to put anonymous suggestions for themes in the hat. Each of our Provocateurs will choose one of these random suggestions and will have one week to write a new piece based on it. This is gonna be fun…

Something ‘elemental’ is a force of nature, uncontrollable, undeniable, surfacing in the sexual and sensual of a person, an event, or in ways simply innate in our very being.

Life is fleeting. What’s on your list to do, get done, and have done to you before you go?

What we hear can turn a moment into a wildfire of arousal. From a lover’s voice, a remembered phrase, a favorite song, the vibrations of a concert, the insistent beat of a dance floor. Tell us what you hear.

Connection, intimacy, desire, these things are the essential elements of the magic of being alive. At this show we celebrate the ceremony of self, the liturgy of lovers, the spells we cast when complete the ritual of coming skin to skin.
