“Hope for Civilization” arrives at NJPAC as a live Rock/Pop event with featured performer Neil deGrasse Tyson, folding a public intellectual into the frame of a concert. The title signals a preoccupation with collective survival and the stories a society tells itself when it’s trying to endure. In the New York metro context, it reads as part of the region’s long habit of mixing science, spectacle, and civic argument onstage. The most interesting tension is how pop structures can carry ideas that usually live in lectures and essays.
