Theater of the Mind
A new immersive experience created by David Byrne and Mala Gaonkar
Co-created by Academy, Grammy, and Tony Award-winning artist David Byrne and writer Mala Gaonkar, Theater of the Mind is a new theatrical experience you’ll see, feel, taste and hear. Inspired by both historical and current neuroscience research, the show takes you on an immersive journey inside how we see and create our worlds. Peer behind the curtain of the physical realm and marvel at the wonders of your mind. Follow your Guide as they revisit key moments in their life in a surreal, 15,000-square-foot installation with a group of just 16 audience members. Over 75 minutes, you’ll move through a series of rooms where you’ll participate in thought-provoking neuroscience experiments. You’ll learn how easily your own senses can deceive you. If perception and memory are both malleable, then perhaps even your identity is less fixed than you think… Join us for this grand experiment. You may not be who you think you are. But we’re all in it together. Caution: the brain may wander. Side effects may include a distrust of your own senses, a disorientation of self, and a mild to severely good time.
Audience Role
Theater of the Mind is based on and includes perceptual phenomena. Your Guide will invite you to participate in a series of experiences you will see, hear, taste, and feel — literally.
