With Waves of Mu, Utah-based maverick Amy Caron braves new terrain in multidisciplinary artemphasis on multi. Created in collaboration with renowned neuroscientists, this two-room show offers an experiential understanding of mirror neuronsa discovery that recently rocked the neuroscience field and spawned new areas of study. In room one, the deliberately small audience is turned loose in their socks to explore a flashy wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling representation of neuroanatomy. A velvet floor tessellation, spectacular custom chandeliers, and surprising paintings, photography, and sculpture add to the rooms neurological intrigue, while the reverb of mutant-dub reggae brings a sense of playful disorientation. Next, the audience moves to room twoa proscenium setting with a curious set that extends into the audience. Between video, theatre, and movement sections, Caron assumes the role of scientist and places the audience in unexpected positions of observation. Without batting an eye, she combines hard science with experimental theories to challenge conventions, stun and incitea powerful mode of education
