"Parables of the Sower," developed by Toshi Reagon and her mother, Bernice Johnson Reagon, will make its full debut at Lincoln Center this week.
Butler’s 1993 novel, “Parable of the Sower,” is heading to Lincoln Center in the form of an opera by the celebrated librettist Toshi Reagon, co-designed with her mother, the acclaimed musician and activist Bernice Johnson Reagon.” will premiere on the famed New York City stage on July 13. “I started paying attention globally,” Reagon said. “When Covid happened, I was like, this is an opportunity for us to really see our power. People have said that you can’t stop pollution. But then the world shut down and the sky was clear. We got to see our collaborative power globally. And we also got to see collaborative violence globally.”
“There’s a lot of a cappella groups on Princeton’s campus and my mom is an a cappella singer,” Reagon said. “It just made sense.” The class made music that explored themes of climate disaster, dislocation and community, “but it wasn’t like we were trying to do theater or anything,” she explained. “Parable of the Sower,” both the original book and the opera, offer incisive lessons on how we can come together in community to make a change, Thake said.
