WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Written and performed by Daniel Beaty, Emergence-See! is an explosive new play where rhythm, rhyme and remembrance rise. Kenny Leon directs.
In 2006, a slave ship emerges out of the Hudson River in front of the Statue of Liberty sending NYC into a frenzy. Beaty assumes forty diverse personalities as they collide in an intricately woven, urgent, witty and moving exploration of our shared humanity and what it means to be free.
"Every now and then you see a performance that jolts the senses to attention. This is one of them! Somehow the artist touched something so deep in me that I love to see in a performance and the human spirit. I sat in awe and profound admiration listening as he connected us to the exhilaration, the pain, and the promise of what it is to be human." - Ruby Dee

An African-American college professor must come to terms with being descended from slaves. In a strange theatrical coincidence, this plotline is the fulcrum of two current Off-Broadway shows: Tanya Barfield's very fine two-actor, multi-character Blue Door at Playwrights Horizons, and Daniel Beaty's stirring one-actor, multi-multi-character Emergence-See!, now ensconced at The Public Theater's rarely used LuEsther Hall.
But even if you've seen Blue Door, the show that Emergence-See! most brings to mind is Sarah Jones' Bridge & Tunnel. In no small part, that's because large chunks of Beaty's work take place at a poetry slam, which is also the setting of Bridge & Tunnel. This is an unsurprisin[...]
