Professor Brian Cox returns with his most ambitious live show yet! After captivating nearly half a million people worldwide with 'Horizons', he's bringing Emergence to Wellington. This is a spectacular celebration of the Universe's intricacy — exploring how magnificent simplicity underlies the dazzling complexity we see around us.
From snowflakes to galaxies, black holes to the human brain, Emergence takes you on a journey through the laws of nature. Inspired by Johannes Kepler's 400-year-old question about the perfect geometry of snowflakes, this show explores how order emerges from quantum simplicity to create the breathtaking beauty of our cosmos.
Professor Cox has created an all-encompassing sensory experience — combining cutting-edge LED screens, immersive sound design, and collaboration with scientists, musicians, and filmmakers to weave together cosmology, biology, philosophy, and history.
