Ocotillo Poetry Slam up to new tricks
Ocotillo Poetry Slam presents a totally new event that will, according to their email announcement, change the entire way you look at the world!
Join in the fun at Robots, Zombies, and Mad Scientists on Saturday, October 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Mat Bevel Institute / Museum of Kinetic Sculpture, 530 N Stone Ave (just north of 6th St). It’s an all ages show and for only five bucks you can witness ”an urgent, life-or-death spoken word showcase to help prepare our community for upcoming apocalyptic struggles.”
They will addressing questions like:
* What kind of apocalypse is best for OUR community?
* Should we place our trust in the Scientific Genius driven mad by his lust for power, or on the Genius Scientist driven insane by hubris?
* What kind of boundaries should you set for your own zombie as he reaches older, more challenging stages of decomposition?
You’ll see all new work by some of your favorite Arizona poets and help “take the next step into a promising world of wild anarchy and horror.” The show will be hosted by Doc Luben, with Maya Asher as The Disciplinarian and will include a feature performance by Paulie Lipman as well as an Underdog Monsters Haiku Death Match. Since it’s almost Halloween, you are, of course, invited to come in costume.
