Semi-autobiographical and semi-fictional, Emergence investigates how we can become our own heroes and change the world. Inspired by the likes of Russian guerilla activist group Pussy Riot, emergent strategist Adrienne Maree Brown, author and activist James Baldwin, organizer Saul Alinsky and countless others, a group of women endeavor to disrupt the narratives of hierarchy we’ve been taught. Emergence is a soundtrack for change — a stirring, questioning musical and movement score that asks, “How can we transcend socialization that perpetuates systems of injustice and inequality? How do we usher in radical imagination, collective liberation and transformative love?
