Theater of the Mind is a groundbreaking theatrical experience co-created by David Byrne and Mala Gaonkar. This immersive journey invites audiences to explore concepts of perception and neuroscience through a series of interactive rooms, guided by a facilitator. Under the direction of Andrew Scoville, participants will engage in thought-provoking experiments that challenge how they understand reality and consciousness. The show debuts as part of Goodman Theatre's Centennial Season in downtown Chicago, offering a fresh perspective on the mind’s mysteries.
