The upcoming film Poor Things will have a special new pop-up this week in New York City to celebrate its release this Friday. From the director of The Lobster, the movie follows Bella, a woman brought back to life by an eccentric scientist who embarks on a wild journey in an attempt to learn more about the world around her. Poor Things stars Emma Stone as Bella alongside Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe.
An immersive Poor Things experience entitled Salon of Seduction will begin later this week in Brooklyn. Inspired by the electrifying world crafted by Yorgos Lanthimos, the pop-up will be held at the iconic Maison Premiere, a New Orleans-inspired oyster and cocktail bar that has been lauded with critical praise since its opening in 2011. The Salon of Seduction will feature peep-show style booths, specialty cocktails designed with Fords Gin, an assortment of food, performances, photo opportunities, free gifts, and much more. The event will run from December 6 through 10, with reservations available on the Tock website.
