The City of Seattle is proud to support this work by innovative Canadian choreographer Crystal Pite. Emergence dramatizes the hard-wired instinct for creating social forms, taking inspiration from the social organization of insects and ballerinas alike. Pite’s choreography is set to the score of composer Owen Belton, whose music draws APRIL 27 - 29 / THE PARAMOUNT THEATRE from acoustic and found sounds as well as electronic instrumentation. These blends of Friday 4/27 at 8:00pm // Stack-Up // Untitled America // Revelations Saturday 4/28 at 8:00pm // The Winter in Lisbon // r-Evolution, Dream. // Revelations nature, culture, and technology remind us of Sunday 4/29 at 2:00pm // Stack-Up // Untitled America // Revelations the complexity of our beloved city and region.
