David Byrne (Talking Heads) and Mala Ganokar (writer) have teamed up to create an immersive experience titled “Theater of the Mind.”

Here’s what we know:

Theater of the Mind will be a 15,000-square-foot immersive experience taking just sixteen audience members at a time through a journey of self-reflection, discovery, and imagination, inspired by and grounded in neuroscience. Led by a Guide whose stories are inspired from the creators’ lives, audiences will explore how they perceive the world through sensory experiments that reveal the inner mysteries of the brain.

The Talking Heads ex-vocalist is known for his artistic endeavors and the magnitude of this project in conjunction with the folks over at the Denver Center of Performing Arts is a one in a lifetime opportunity for both creators (Byrne/Gaonkar) and fans alike.

Byrne talks about the upcoming installation:

“We are so pleased to be premiering Theater of the Mind in Denver with such wonderful partners at the DCPA. Off-Center is nationally admired for its immersive work, and they have the skill and experience to bring this complex production to life and the committed audience who will appreciate it. I have long had an interest in creating something that incorporated the sensory experiments we often read about in a way that was entertaining and engaging, but still gave people an experience that was visceral and profound.” 

Look for “Theater of the Mind” to open in August 2020 with more information regarding scheduling and ticket information will be released at a later date. Sign up here to receive more information.
