Signs, Symbols, and the Stories we tell Ourselves
You’re invited to a post-show conversation following the 5 PM performance of The Da Vinci Code, featuring Dr. Danicia Monet Malone, IRT Community Ambassador Alum and Founder of Rokh Research & Design Studio, and Dr. Matthias Beier, Professor at Christian Theological Seminary, moderated by IRT’s Director of Inclusion & Community Partnerships, Devon Ginn.
Pop culture enthusiasts have a deep fascination with finding hidden meaning in media. This Community Conversation investigates why humans are drawn to symbols and secret meanings. In the world of interpretation, where is the line between curiosity and conspiracy?
