Description:
The Gentle Animation Show was a performance by Opal L. Nations and Robert Amos presented in the Grand Luxe Hall as part of Western Front’s weekly Monday Night Reading Series. While Nations read a story about three characters, Amos—who was dressed in a smock, beret, and fake moustache—illustrated the narrative in real time on a large paper backdrop.Curated by Mary Beth Knechtel.
