The Fondle Tour is a three-person show presenting new work by Mitra Saboury*, Nina Sarnelle** and Megan Snowe*** in an intimate event of everyday erotica, humor and doubt. In Saboury's videos, her body is used as a tool to clean the surrounding environment. Sarnelle's Tell me about yr research is a language-driven music set that interacts with projected video. Snowe will read from a collection of soft-core raunch short stories about bodily detritus.
