All that you touch you change.
All that you change changes you.
Based on the post-apocalyptic novel by the late Afrofuturist and science fiction author Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower is a genre-defying work that harnesses two centuries of Black music. Written by Toshi Reagon and Bernice Johnson Reagon, Parable chronicles the spiritual awakening of young Lauren Olamina amidst a dystopian America wracked by the violence brought on by unrelenting greed, and systemic injustice. Exploding the form of an opera, Parable fuses science fiction, African-American spiritualism, deep insights into gender and race, and climate activism to construct a mesmerizing meditation on the future of human civilization.
The run time for this live, in person event is 120 minutes. It is recommended for ages 13+, and tickets will start at $25.
