The Fondle Tour

Right before hitting Rotterdam, London and Amsterdam, Mitra Saboury, Nina Sarnelle and Megan Snowe bring their three-person show "The Fondle Tour" to the Zentrale, here in Vienna. HURRAH-YAH!

About their show, they send us, from LA:
"The Fondle Tour" is an intimate event of everyday erotica, humor and doubt. In Mitra's videos, her body is used as a tool to clean the surrounding environment. Nina's "Tell me about yr research" is a language-driven music set that interacts with projected video. Megan will read from a collection of soft-core raunch short stories about bodily detritus.

Our doors will open at 7pm, performance will start ~8:30 pm.
