On the final day of her 5-month long Renaissance World Tour, Beyoncé announced a film of the concert will be released on Dec. 1 in select theaters across the country.

The movie will feature visuals for songs from the “Renaissance: Act I” album, behind-the-scenes exclusives, and footage from the world tour.

“When I am performing, I am nothing but free. The goal for this tour was to create a place where everyone is free and no one is judged…start over, start fresh, create the new. That’s what the Renaissance is about,” Queen Bey expressed over a montage of never-before-seen footage in the trailer. 

Cover2Cover has compiled a list of four theaters nearby where you can experience the Renaissance through the big screen!
