Immersive cocktail experience «Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy»

The evening is divided into four acts. The so-called Historiadores de Poe lead the audience through dramatised versions of The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, The Raven and The Masque of the Red Death. Each story is accompanied by a cocktail created for the occasion: Pale Blue Eye, The Cat’s Meow, Nevermore and Cocktail of the Red Death. Alcohol-free versions can also be requested.

The proposal turns literature into something that happens around the spectator: voices, acting, suspense and drinks move forward together as some of Poe’s best-known obsessions — guilt, madness, death and the inexplicable — take over the space.

Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy is held at the Fàbrica Moritz Barcelona, at Ronda de Sant Antoni, 41. The venue is accessible for wheelchair users and places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

An unconventional way to reread Poe: this time, with the story in front of you and a glass in your hand.
