From Andy Engelson of Hanoi Writers’ Collective:
Poetry has never been so…intimate.

The Hanoi Writers’ Collective cordially invites the denizens of Hanoi to join their sultry scribes for an unforgettable evening of live world music, sizzling tribal belly dancing and fire performances, and the wildest, sexiest spoken word you’ve heard this side of the Red River. So hike up your skirts, loosen your tie, and come on in…don’t be shy!

In addition to the evening’s theatrical, burlesque-style poetry performances, you can also enjoy a private poetry reading with one of the establishment’s motley crew of resident talent. The eclectic mix of music features the seductive sounds of Kulture, Juan Ho, Gam, and Phuong Dang. Those in costume will be given a discount at the door—so pull out your wildest turn-of-the-century frocks or hottest harem apparel!

All proceeds will be donated to support victims of domestic violence and human trafficking at the Center for Women and Development’s Peace House Shelters. Music provided by Synergy Music Productions. The Poetry Bordello is affiliated with Bookworm’s Festival of Words, continuing through June.

Suggested donation: 100 000 VND
