Hajime Kinoko is one of the world’s most well-respected practitioners of Shibari, the ancient Japanese are of rope bondage. His performances are tastefully sensual, engrossing, and a bit mysterious, captivating audiences with intricate pattern work and meticulous attention to detail.

Seeing the dynamic between Kinoko and his assistants is a work of art in and of itself, the silent communication and the sweet surrender of the subject creating a palpable tension that continuously builds until the final creation is revealed. Kinoko will be joined by Marie Sauvage, his long time assistant and protege.

Doors at 8:30pm / Tickets: $30 / Limited capacity

RSVP required (closes 6pm on 12/1)
