SUMMARY:Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower (Krannert Center for the Performing Arts)
DESCRIPTION:Based on the novels Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler\, this genre-defying work of political theatre featuring a powerhouse ensemble of 20 singers\, actors\, and musicians harnesses 200 years of Black music to give musical life to Butler’s acclaimed science fiction novels. \nParable of the Sower\, set in 2024 and published in 1993\, presciently grapples with many of the same issues we face today—global warming\, corporate influence over government\, a destabilized economy\, water scarcity\, food scarcity\, the privatization of social services\, homelessness\, public safety\, a return of long-forgotten diseases\, and the profit-making machine that runs the medical industry. \nWritten by singer\, composer\, and producer Toshi Reagon in collaboration with her mother\, Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon (song leader\, composer\, scholar\, social activist\, and founder of Sweet Honey In the Rock)\, Parable of the Sower is a mesmerizing theatrical work of rare power and beauty that reveals deep insights into gender\, race\, and the future of human civilization. \nFollow this link to purchase tickets: https://krannertcenter.com/events/octavia-e-butlers-parable-sower
