Esoterotica, Erotica from New Orleans

Esoterotica, Erotica from New Orleans

Esoterotica is a revolving cast of poets, writers, and storytellers based out of New Orleans exploring what it is to be sensual, sexual, creative, and connected. Erotica is defined in the dictionary as "literature or art designed to arouse sexual desire." We do not think this is enough. To us, erotica explores an integral part of the human experience, the pleasures of the senses. It combines the two binders of humanity, written language and sexual experience. We encourage you to enjoy this exploration with us.

Welcome to Esoterotica’s “Kinky Fucks” for May 12th, 2021.

If you’ve never been to an Esoterotica event—you may not know that we are some kinky fucks. Our Provocateurs get into all sorts of... let’s say less than usual sexual practices. And we do love them for it. If you’re interested in knowing more, you’ll need to ask them yourselves. And I highly recommend doing that. We have a quickie show tonight but it’s thick with ...

Welcome to Esoterotica’s “On Fire” for April 28th, 2021.

For good reasons, the concept of passion being a flame goes back centuries. Fire is a ruiner and a method of cleansing. It can provide the warmth we need to survive the night. It can burn our whole fucking house down. A vital fire, neglected, can smother into nothing. And embers, hidden and forgotten can give birth to a new blaze. Tonight we bring to you a bit of ou...

Greetings, denizens of Esoterotica Land and welcome to Esoterotica’s “Soft” for April 14th, 2021.

My name is Mike Marina, subbing in for Shadow Angelina this evening. Tonight our provocateurs will explore the theme and idea of soft—gentle quiet—for in this loud raucous world, sometimes what we need is a contrast. Often Esoterotica’s provocateurs are bombastic, this night is that contrast.

Welcome to Esoterotica’s "Gods and Monsters" for March 31st, 2021.

When the Provocateurs of Esoterotica contemplate this particular theme, we never quite know what will happen. What we do know is that the delving into power exchange, the conventionally accepted ideas of what constitutes a god or a monster, the excavation of what is both divine and terrible within ourselves, never fails to leave us satisfied, whil...

Welcome to Esoterotica’s "Dirty Deeds and Messy Minds" for March 17th, 2021.

Sometimes life is messy; and tonight we are going to let that messy open it’s dirty wings and let go. Messy and dirty are deceptively complicated words and we each define them differently. From the heart-ravaging to the filthy perfection our 6 Provocateurs have taken this theme to its limits in all directions. We are so pleased that you’...

Welcome to Esoterotica’s "Introductions" for March 3rd, 2021.

Introductions happen all the time. And we have treated them as perfunctory, transactional, commonplace. But in the wake of a year where so many of our typical introductions have been stifled- a serious perspective and gratitude has come into play for many of us. How we are introduced can color our perceptions for a lifetime. Be that an introduction to...

Welcome to Esoterotica’s "All on a Mardi Gras Day" for February 17th, 2021. 

Mardi Gras is one of the most misunderstood holidays in America. Most of the country views it as nothing more than a drunken street party of the most epic scale. And it is that. But that’s not nearly a full description. 

Those of us who are lovers and children of the Crescent City see it differently. While we certainly are known...

Welcome to Esoterotica’s Desirous Dreams, December 9, 2020.



In dreaming and working to make those dreams a reality, we have arrived on the stage of our true lives. It is where we question ourselves, pulling at threads of who we are. We all need our ability to cerebrally create and wander, to daydream, now more than ever. And to share those dreams when we can, in journals, with lovers, even the whole world.

Welcome to Esoterotica’s "Pervertibles & Paraphilia" for November 25th, 2020.

Human sexuality and arousal is literally all over the place and heavily dependent on our psychological and social norms. The subversion of those norms call to us over and over. The word "paraphilia" came into use in 1903 and describes the "experiencing of intense sexual arousal from atypical objects, situations, fant...

Sensuality and sexuality grow and evolve as we do... and sometimes in the most amusing ways. This week we offer a short and sweet show, and after the exertion that the last week has been for us Americans, that seems just about what we need.

Welcome to Esoterotica’s "Myths and Lore" for October 28, 2020.

For all of the measures and milestones, horrors and triumphs that humanity has faced, what does not change is our desire to talk about it. Our species has sought to understand itself through the art of storytelling since we began communicating. And many of those stories endure and echo in us to one degree or another, for thousands of years.

Welcome to Esoterotica’s "Sacred Sluts" for September 30, 2020.

We all have those moments, those situations, those lovers whose time with us help to define and refine what desires we will end up discovering, opening us to to not only pleasure, but who we want to become.

This self-discovery through a shared act makes the act itself sacred.

Who could avoid developing a want for more?
