Emerge: Oops…life!

Emerge: Oops…life! is a dark comedy about three women who witness a violent incident on the street—an event that forces them to confront the traumas of their own lives. Suddenly, something small is enough to shatter a glass ceiling built over many years.

The piece offers a social commentary on womanhood from three viewpoints, combining episodic storytelling with time as a musical and theatrical element, and cinematic video material integrated into the live stage space.

Emerge: Oops…life! is not a story of survival. Rather, it offers observations on the inherent absurdity of life itself, and on how a lived life leaves its marks on us, both good and bad.
