Esoterotica

Esoterotica is a revolving cast of local, New Orleans area provocateurs reading their original erotica live, on stage including poetry, flash fiction, spoken word, sexy confessions, and more. Each show is different, often showcasing line-ups of new writing never performed before and possibly only ever the once.

Echoes & Reflections
Have you ever read a poem that changed who you are, or fundamentally altered who you were to become? To celebrate Poetry Month, our provocateurs are sharing original pieces inspired by those poems and poets that did just that for us.

And Our Next One:

One Poem, Many Voices
A Poetry Month Challenge Show where each provocateur will use the same poem to write a new piece of their own, exploring the variety of ways poetry and language can excite us, stimulating our minds and our desires.
