The brilliant Johnnie Cruise Mercer/TheREDprojectNYC presents PM6 thenowlater: SOUL -- a project Mercer has described as "a dance film, a crafted gospel to ‘black revelations.' Filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and marking the 60th Anniversary of Alvin Ailey’s Revelations, the process memoir, film, and journey is guided by one question: What happens when we burn the flesh, and follow the spirit? The film marks the third journey of four within Process memoir 6: thenowlater, and is an active documentation of the company’s becoming, a shedding towards collective freedom."
