In Marseille, immerse yourself in the macabre world of the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy. Forget traditional bars: here, literature is savored alongside expertly crafted cocktails. By candlelight, let yourself be swept away by a gothic and mysterious atmosphere, designed to send shivers of delight down your spine. An intimate and sensory rediscovery of the American master of horror.
What is the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy experience?
The concept behind this immersive event is simple: to bring four of the author’s most famous tales to life for you. On the program: the melancholy of “The Raven,” the oppressive atmosphere of “The Black Cat,” the macabre splendor of “The Masque of the Red Death,” and the chilling paranoia of “The Tell-Tale Heart.” As soft lighting plunges the room into semi-darkness, storytellers bring the texts to life with passion. To top it all off, four custom cocktails are served in time with the stories, each designed to perfectly complement the tale you’re listening to.
Why does Edgar Allan Poe find his place in the shadows of a speakeasy?
Quite simply because Poe’s work thrives on darkness, whispers, and hushed atmospheres. The “speakeasy” setting is the perfect backdrop for these kinds of stories. The proximity to the actors, the heavy silences, and the harmonious flavors in your glass transform simple listening into a truly immersive experience. You don’t just listen to a story—you feel it.
