    <description>“I feel; therefore I am.” 
Emuse is a show composed of curiosity and sustained by song. Each show has a theme, and Emma incorporates songs, speeches, poetry, and stories to explore the theme from as many angles as possible within the three hours. Although the medium is audio, Emuse activates all senses, including humor!</description>
