New York City
Written and performed by 31 year old Daniel Beaty, Emergence-See! weaves together slam poetry, opera, musical interludes and multi-character transformation resulting in an energetic theatrical masterpiece.
Beaty portrays a cast of some 40 characters who have witnessed a surreal event in front of the Statue of Liberty; through the characters individual responses and their varied testimonies on identity and personal freedom, Emergence-See! weaves a stirring commentary on what it is to be human and the longing to be free.
