In March 2018, Emerge transformed the state-of-the-art Galvin Playhouse on ASU’s Tempe campus into a rich, immersive experience grounded in space-science research and the inspirational vision of our Writer at Large, Kim Stanley Robinson. Visitors could see, hear, touch and play the future in our unfolding story of human habitation beyond Planet Earth.
Our immersive experience transported guests to an alternate world: Luna City, a bustling metropolis on the Moon in the year 2175. Luna City’s singular history and authentic reality is a synthesis of art and space science, a gateway into a complex vision of a human future lived in a place separate from yet intimately connected with our own.
