1hr 54min | R | Surrealist Fantasy/Adventure | Mexico 

For one night only, the Senate Theater invites you to attempt an ascent through the unseen, mystical world of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain.  

Taking its inspiration from 16th century spiritual treatise and an allegorical novel from a 20th century French surrealist, this cult classic out of Mexico is a symbolic trip and stylistic triumph. It overflows with metaphysical philosophy, making cross-cultural religious allusions as it dazzles with surrealist, psychedelic imagery. Essentially it tells the story of a thief climbing a tower. But in the reality of The Holy Mountain, ascending becomes transcendence and what is “real” is revealed to be but a plane on which we project our perceptions. 

Join us for this decidedly strange installment of our Hot, Sweaty & Weird summer series, where the movies are offbeat, the air conditioning is non-existent, and our doors, (of perception and otherwise) are wide open. 

The Senate Theater and The Detroit Theater Organ Society is supported by The Michigan Arts and Culture Council and The National Endowment for the Arts. 

Parking is available in our gated lot, on Gilbert, and Michigan Avenue
