Emergence is a revolutionary theatrical experience led by Patrick Olson that stands at the intersection of art, science and music. It defies conventional boundaries, pushing the limits of creativity and intellect and expanding the horizons of both performers and spectators alike. Emergence is an invitation to embark on a transformative journey where the realms of knowledge and artistic expression intertwine, and things are not as they seem.

Part music, part monologue, part science journey, part rock concert, part psychedelic trip, 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. Audiences will be immersed in live, original music, highlighted by a dynamic ensemble of musicians, singers, dancers and stunning visual effects with arena-level sound that merge seamlessly while asking big, bold questions. Emergence deals with time, matter, energy, human perception and love and challenges our human tendency to think in convenient shortcuts when observing the world around us. It is where the deepest realities of the natural world, cosmology, consciousness and meaning await us all.
