Hypnodrome says…

Horror, erotica, and live theatre collide and combine for the nage-à-trois of hair-raising delights that is the Thrillpeddlers' modern-day Grand Guignol. In classic Guignol style, Audacious Artefacts presents four vignettes to terrify and titillate, beginning with 1958's Les Coupes de Tetes (The Head Hunters), a sordid tale of Amazonian nightmares. Next up are the early 19th-century pieces Tics, or Doing the Deed and Private Room Number Six, which respectively explore the consequences of wife-swapping and the dark side of Parisian brothels. The evening rounds out with the Hypnodrome's first-ever erotica spookshow, The Discipline.
