David Byrne’s Theater Of The Mind Project Opens In August

David Byrnes next project, Theater of the Mind, will open at Denver’s York Street Yards on August 31st and run through December 18th. Tickets go on sale Friday.

According to Byrne and co-creator Mala Gaonkar, Theater of the Mind takes you on an immersive journey inside how we see and create our worlds, using stories to shape a narrative you’ll see, feel, taste and hear.

The press release for Theater of the Mind also says this: “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.
