Crystal Pite’s audience favorite Emergence returns after a six-year hiatus!
“Like the best works of art, it transforms its audience, as well as its participants,” says The Seattle Times of Emergence. This mesmerizing piece is accompanied by Jerome Robbins’ intimate Afternoon of a Faun, Marco Goecke’s solo work Mopey, and a World Premiere from PNB dancer and choreographer Price Suddarth. Each of these choreographers pushes the boundaries of dance with their own unique vision, and are especially remarkable when juxtaposed with one another.

This breathtaking event is set to take place from May 29 to June 22, 2025, at the Bagley Wright Theater, promising audiences an unforgettable experience.
