Between life and death, dreaming and waking, at the train stop beyond the end of the world is the city of Palimpsest. To get there is a miracle, a mystery, a gift, and a curse -- a voyage permitted only to those who've always believed there's another world than the one that meets the eye. Those fated to make the passage are marked forever by a map of that wondrous city tattooed on their flesh after a single orgasmic night.

Palimpsest is a lush, decadent and evocative tale of a sexually transmitted city. By connecting through passion and desire, a new world opens.

The world of Palimpsest is attached to our own, here and now -- and so a group of extraordinary artists and performers have combined their efforts to bring Palimpsest to life.

On Ash Wednesday, February 25th, the Brooklyn Lyceum will hold a portal to the world of Palimpsest. The evening will feature live music by S.J. Tucker, theatrical readings from Catherynne M. Valente's upcoming urban fantasy novel, a rope suspension performance by Lee Harrington, and a host of performers from the burlesque to the avant-garde and back again.

Bear witness to this unique event, dress to extravagance, experience the mystery...
