You are invited to the inaugural event of theChicago Psychoanalytic Society’s Community & Culture Program!
Designed to bring Society members together in person throughout the year, the program will feature some of Chicago’s wonderful theatrical and cultural offerings—with a psychoanalytic bent—along with opportunities to gather afterward for lively discussion and socializing.
Our first event will be David Byrne’s (of Talking Heads) Theater of the Mind on Tuesday, October 6, at 5:45 p.m.
Theater of the Mind takes place in the historic Reid Murdoch Building, just across the river at 333 N. LaSalle Street in Chicago’s River North neighborhood.
Tickets are $52, and space is limited to 16 participants. If you would like to join us, please register by Tuesday, September 8. This is a Chicago Psychoanalytic Society members-only event.
A post-show gathering for dinner, conversation, and socializing is being planned, with details to follow.
We hope you’ll join us for the launch of this new Society program and an evening of theater, conversation, and community!
OPEN PRINTABLE FLYER
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.

The running time is approximately 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes), no intermission. Due to the nature of the experience and for the safety of performers and audience members, there will be no late admittance under any circumstances. Please plan on arriving 15-20 prior to your entry time.
You will 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. The timed entry is every 15 minutes with a maximum of 16 percipients in each time slot.
You will need to move around the space among multiple environments with your fellow attendees. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothes. Backpacks, bags, and purses are not allowed in the experience. Complementary 12” x 12” lockers are provided.
