I love the way we are brought in so intimately and gently into Austin Nation’s life, while he transforms before our eyes. There is no rush, a well-paced unfolding of this life story. Joyful.
What I didn't like
It all works! Beautiful, like watching a flower bloom!
My overall impression
Austin Nation’s sweet spirit shines thru every moment of this performance, no matter what the costume. As he transforms his appearance into the dazzling Afrika Nature, we are carried thru all the ups and downs of his life. Within the intimate setting of his dressing room, he shares the intimate story of growing up black and gay and coming of age in the early years of HIV.
His story is not an easy one to have lived, but we are invited to join him in celebrating the triumphs. A beautiful story exploring the human experience.
