As Luc Sante tells us, New York is a city that will be replaced by another city.
But what does that leave under our feet? EMERGENCE, created by Maureen Towey, Jason Grote, and the Green Oasis Community Garden, explores the palimpsest that is New York -- and explores the other, utopian New York that is not only dreamt of, but right here.
Part theater event, part pageant, and part installation, EMERGENCE uses music, dance, theater, and the organic and built environment to explore the unlikely Eden of the 21st-century community garden.
