Join us for this very special one-night-only streaming of Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower: The Concert Experience that includes a conversation between Toshi Reagon and a panel of artists after the performance.
Since presenting the concert performance Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower in 2017, ArtsEmerson has been honored to continue deep work with the production’s composer, Toshi Reagon, and her commitment to social justice and community engagement.
Especially in this current moment, it is clear that the lessons of Parable of the Sower remain ever more present and that society has much more growth to pursue. At ArtsEmerson, we have felt that call to growth which inspired our Together Apart series and our transparency with our audiences through our Town Halls with Artistic Director David Dower and Executive Director David C. Howse.
Join us for this very special one-night-only streaming of Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower: The Concert Experience! The event starts with a conversation between Toshi Reagon and a panel of artists and activists from cities where Reagon previously paved the Parable Path. Viewers will then be treated to a stream of Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower: The Concert Experience followed by an audience talk-back with Toshi Reagon and other performers from the show.
The event runs from 6pm-9:30pm EST. You can watch this livestream event Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower, on FRIDAY, MAY 22 at 6PM on ArtsEmerson’s Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/ArtsEmerson and Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/ArtsEmerson.
