Lincoln Center at the Movies: Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

Fathom Events and Lincoln Center are thrilled to bring four spirited performances from the acclaimed Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater to select cinemas nationwide on Thursday, October 22. In Birmingham, the event will be shown at the Carmike Vestavia Hills 10, Carmike Patton Creek 15 and Regal Trussville Stadium 16.

This is your chance to witness an iconic masterpiece of American dance, Alvin Ailey’s Revelations, described by The New York Times as “one of the great works of the human spirit.” This stunning, soulful tour de force draws on African-American spirituals, song-sermons, gospel songs, and holy blues. The wide-ranging influences and irrepressible passion of Revelations are evident across the rest of this electrifying program, which features Wayne McGregor’s sumptuous Chroma, set to a score by Joby Talbot with orchestrations of songs by The White Stripes; Ronald K. Brown’s Grace, a powerful meeting of modern and West African dance with a soundtrack by Duke Ellington, Roy Davis, and Fela Kuti; and Robert Battle’s humorous, high-flying Takademe.

Lincoln Center at the Movies brings exceptional artistic performances to local movie theaters, with its first series, Great American Dance, offering a larger-than-life experience with some of America’s most inspiring dance companies.
