David Byrne<\/a>\u2019s immersive, sensory-rich theater project Theater of the Mind<\/em> will now be premiering in 2021.<\/p>\n

The production was supposed to open this year at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, via its DCPA Off-Center arm, but the city\u2019s pandemic shutdown has upended Byrne and co-creator Mala Gaonkar\u2019s plans. They plan on announcing rescheduled dates in the future and promise to send updates via the project\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cPostponing this production, which has been many years in the making, is heartbreaking for everyone involved,\u201d DCPA Off-Center Curator Charlie Miller said in a statement. \u201cBut given the uncertainties of what the future of this pandemic holds, we found ourselves with no other choice. DCPA Off-Center remains deeply committed to producing Theater of the Mind<\/em> in Denver, and we hope to share this groundbreaking experience with our community as soon as we safely and responsibly can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Byrne detailed his vision for the project late last year in an interview with Rolling Stone<\/a><\/em>. \u201cIt will be in a warehouse, where it\u2019s divided into a bunch of different rooms,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cA group of 16 audience members will go from room to room and experience these perceptual things. When they leave one room, another group goes in there. That way, you can get 400 people in from 6 p.m. to 10. You get the same number as if it were a theater show, but you get more in small groups.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Talking Heads frontman recently ended a successful Broadway run of his American Utopia<\/em> show, which found him performing songs from throughout his career with a group of musicians who danced and carried their instruments around the stage. Before the coronavirus<\/a> pandemic, filmmaker Spike Lee announced his intention to film a version of the show for a release later this year; he and Byrne have yet to announce a release date for the picture.<\/p>\n
