Emergence: Things Are Not As They Seem

Patrick Olson and the cast of Emergence Russ Rowland

Emergence: Things Are Not As They Seem is a deeply original performance of music, breathtaking dance, spoken word and psychedelia, led by artist Patrick Olson. He is backed by musicians, singers, dancers, and large-scale immersive video imagery.

You will not have seen anything like it.

Combining thundering music and mind trip monologues, Emergence explores the deepest aspects of the human experience with a riveting dive into the domain between science and art – uplifting, emotionally powerful and revelatory.

“EMERGENCE: A MIND-BLOWING FEAST FOR THE SENSES.  If you’re a fan of David Byrne’s American Utopia, this is the show for you.  A unique theatrical experience combining science and art in a most entertaining and mind-expanding way”

- Roma Torre, New York Stage Review

She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
