Relaxed Performance on Wednesday, July 15 at 7 pm 

The Relaxed Performance is open to those who prefer a more flexible experience — but it is not a Sensory-Friendly (SF) performance. Theater of the Mind is an immersive, high-sensory show that uses occasionally intense visual stimulation, music, noise, taste, and smell as you move through different spaces during your 75-minute journey.

To decide if the Relaxed Performance is right for you, please feel free to visit our online sensory guide for more details on this show’s multiple sensory elements, and email Access@goodmantheatre.org for more information.

Location: Reid Murdoch Building, 333 N LaSalle (about a 10-min walk from The Goodman)

IT’S ALL INSIDE YOUR HEAD.
BUT IS ANY OF IT REAL?

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 immersive journey inside how we see and create our worlds. Peer behind the curtain of the physical realm and marvel at the wonders of your mind. Follow your Guide as they revisit key moments in their life in a surreal, 15,000-square-foot installation with a group of just 16 audience members.

Over 75 minutes, you’ll move through a series of rooms where you’ll participate in thought-provoking neuroscience experiences. You’ll learn how easily your own senses can deceive you. If perception and memory are both malleable, then perhaps even your identity is less fixed than you think… You may not be who you think you are. But we’re all in it together.
