Octavia E. Butler’s “Parable of the Sower” is a triumphant, mesmerizing work of rare power and beauty that illuminates deep insights into gender, race, and the future of human civilization. This fully-staged congregational opera brings together over 30
original anthems drawn from 200 years of black music to recreate Octavia Butler’s sci-fi,
Afrofuturist masterpiece live on stage. With music and lyrics by Toshi Reagon and
Bernice Johnson Reagon, this compelling work gives life to Butler’s acclaimed science
fiction novel of the same name.
