Perennials

Created by Emergence Collective
(Kate Douglas, Matthew Dean Marsh, Raina Sokolov-Gonzalez & Sylver Wallace)

A performance in two parts, Perennials utilizes original live music and spoken text composed and performed by the members of Emergence Collective.

The first part is a docu-musical shot entirely on iPhone during a residency at Ancram during COVID. The second part is a live performance that evolves from that short film.

Emergence Collective shares stories of endurance in ecosystems and lived experience to gain a deeper understanding of what survival and healing mean for all beings right now as we begin to emerge from this year of pandemic.

Perennials has been developed at Ancram Opera House’s PlayLab. The live show recently debuted at Little Island, NYC.
