Two Piece Tuesdays presents “Dying Fables”

Join us for our monthly celebration of Poetry, Weird Film and Alt Music. There will be Taropy with Miss Ginger and cocktails too. There is no cover and much magic. 7 to 9pm.

Film ~ Jean Cocteau’s “The Blood of a Poet” (Le sang d’un poète). 1930.

“Poets . . . shed not only the red blood of their hearts but the white blood of their souls,” proclaimed Jean Cocteau of his groundbreaking first film—an exploration of the plight of the artist, the power of metaphor and the relationship between art and dreams. One of cinema’s great experiments, this first installment of the Orphic Trilogy stretches the medium to its limits in an effort to capture the poet’s obsession with the struggle between the forces of life and death.”

The film also features that great wild woman and astounding photographer – Lee Miller.
