Created by Toshi Reagon & Bernice Johnson Reagon
Co-Directed by Eric Ting & Signe V. Harriday
Based on the Novels PARABLE OF THE SOWER and PARABLE OF THE TALENTS by Octavia E. Butler
Based on the classic sci-fi novel by the Afrofuturist author, Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower is a genre-defying, triumphant, mesmerizing work of rare power and beauty that illuminates deep insights on 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 Butler’s sci-fi, Afrofuturist masterpiece live on stage. With music and lyrics composed by Toshi Reagon and Bernice Johnson Reagon, this compelling work chronicles the spiritual awakening of Lauren Olamina amidst an America plagued by the products of unrelenting greed, systemic injustice and climate change denial, giving life to Butler’s acclaimed science fiction novel, now celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year, 2023!
Special thanks to Songs of the Living Community ChoirAll three performances will be streamed live for FREE on the Hauser Digital Wall in the lobby of David Geffen Hall. Please join us!
