A Journey Through David Byrne’s ‘Theater Of The Mind’ (The NoPro Review)
An expertly polished, highly accessible journey through the science of memories


There is a classic, memorable scene at the end of the movie Being John Malkovich where Lotte chases Maxine through the various chambers of John’s brain, literally stepping into his memories as they go. Theater Of The Mind reminded me a lot of that scene, except we traversed David Byrne’s head instead, lightly unpacked his childhood trauma, and experienced some really fun, science-based parlor tricks along the way.


Theater of the Mind, by David Byrne & Mala Gaonkar and directed by Andrew Scoville, performs at York Street Yards in Denver, CO through December 18th. Tickets are $55-65.00.
