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
