Welcome to Theater of the Mind HD

Theater of the Mind Created by DAVID BYRNE & MALA GAONKAR Aug 31 - Dec 18, 2022 | York Street Yards Book now for best availability! IT’S ALL INSIDE YOUR HEAD. BUT IS ANY OF IT REAL? Inspired by both historical and current lab research, Theater of the Mind takes you on an immersive journey inside how we see and create our worlds. Co-created by Academy, Grammy, and Tony Award-winning artist David Byrne and writer Mala Gaonkar, the show uses stories from their own lives to shape a narrative you’ll see, feel, taste and hear. Witness the wonders of your mind for yourself as you follow The Guide through a spectacular, 15,000-square-foot installation in a group of 16 audience members. You will see things you know aren’t there, not see things you know are there – and watch your friends disappear! As you explore intriguing environments, participate in a narrative and try a series of sensory experiments, your Guide will question how beliefs, memories and even our identities are less fixed than we think. 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. You may not be who you think you are. But we’re all in it together.
