From award-winning writer-director Mona Fastvold (The World to Come, The Brutalist) comes the extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers. Academy Award nominee Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shaker's irrepressible leader, who preached gender and social equality and was revered by her followers. The Testament of Ann Lee captures the ecstasy and torment 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) and original songs & score by Academy Award winner Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist).
Written by Fastvold and Academy Award® nominee Brady Corbet (The Brutalist), producers include Andrew Morrison (The Brutalist), Joshua Horsfield (The Silent Twins), Viktória Petrányi (The Brutalist), Fastvold, Corbet, Gregory Jankilevitsch (Woman of…), Klaudia Śmieja-Rostworowska (The Silent Twins), Lillian LaSalle (Brooklyn, Minnesota), and Mark Lampert (The Brutalist).
