An opera based on Octavia E. Butler's book will be presented Friday at Merrill Auditorium by Portland Ovations and Indigo Arts Alliance, the culmination of months of events centered on the story's themes of climate change and social justice.
The show at Merrill Auditorium, commissioned by Portland Ovations, will feature four individual performances by Indigenous artists, as well as stories from former Abbe Museum director Chris Newell, who will serve as a host.
