Theater of the Mind (Chicago)

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 intimate and immersive journey inside how we see and create our worlds. Peer behind the curtain of the physical realm as you move through a series of rooms with your guide, where you’ll participate in thought-provoking experiences—and marvel at the wonders of your mind. For Theater of the Mind, intimate groups of only 16 people per performance time will be led through a 15,000 square foot installation of intriguing environments. You will be invited to participate in unique sensory experiences inspired by neuroscience. Due to the visceral, personal nature of immersive work, no two participants will have the same experience.
