Emergence: Things Are Not As They Seem is a deeply original performance of music, 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.

Following a sold out run in Los Angeles, Emergence makes its New York theatrical premiere for 13 weeks only.

Ticket Information

Emergence is approximately 90 minutes with no intermission. The show is recommended for people ages 12 and up. This production contains both flashing lights as well as theatrical haze.

All Seats Just $35 (October Only)
