- The Reid Murdoch Building Goodman, 333 N. LASALLE STREET, CHICAGO, 60654, United States
ASL Performance on Thursday, July 16 at 7 pm
Created by David Byrne & Mala Gaonkar
Directed by Andrew Scoville
Produced in Special Arrangement with Arbutus
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.

About this event
Theater of the Mind: ASL-Interpreted Performance at The Goodman – Reid Murdoch Building is featured on the Project Awaken Get Active calendar as part of accessible arts and theatre experiences — including ASL-interpreted, audio-described, and open-captioned performances — curated by the Cultural Access Collaborative. Project Awaken brings together listings from trusted Chicago-area partners so people with spinal cord injuries, mobility disabilities, and visual impairments can find welcoming ways to get active, connect with others, and try something new.
Events like this typically welcome participants of varying abilities along with their families, friends, sighted guides, and volunteers, and many are free to attend. If you are new to adaptive sports or recreation, it helps to reach out to the host organization ahead of time with any access questions, ask whether specialized equipment is provided, and bring a companion if that makes you more comfortable. Taking that first step — showing up, asking, trying — is what getting active is all about.
Please confirm the date, time, location, cost, and any registration requirements on the official event or organizer page before attending, as details can change. To find more opportunities, explore our full events calendar, browse Get Active grants and resources, or join the Get Connected peer-support community.
