Dinner and The Parable of the Sower

Join the Scholars Program for Arts Emerson's production of Octavia E Butler's Parable of the Sower. This powerful performance based on the science fiction novel by the same name explores issues of gender, race, and the future of human civilization.

From the Arts Emerson website:

Parable of the Sower harnesses 200 years of African-American song traditions to tell the story of young Lauren Olamina, who lives in a not-so-distant America, where climate change has driven society to violence and the brink of extinction. When she loses both family and home, Lauren ventures out unprotected. What begins as a desperate flight for survival leads to something much more – a startling vision of human destiny which births “Earthseed,” a new faith based on the idea that “God is Change.”
