The Testament of Ann Lee (15)
About This Event
The extraordinary story of true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers. Academy Award nominee Amanda Seyfried delivers a career-best performance as Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers, who preached gender and social equality and was revered by her followers. The Testament of Ann Lee captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a utopia, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall (Vox Lux, Aftersun) and original songs & score by Academy Award winner Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist).
