THE FIREBIRD – created by – The ReMemberers
The ReMemberers are a multidisciplinary trio weaving ritual storytelling, global song, and multi-instrumental virtuosity into a prismatic experience that feels part theater, part concert, part ceremony. Violet Southard’s numinous voice, Alex Harvey’s resonant strings, and John DeKadt’s percussive tale-telling create an atmosphere where ancient myths breathe again—told, sung, and drummed into presence.
Each gathering begins with an inherited wisdom tale and unfolds as a journey inward. Musical traditions from across the planet converge in this awakening of ancient folklore. The ReMemberers, in partnership with their audience, rekindle one of humanity’s oldest customs: coming together to listen, imagine, and be transformed.
This year the ensemble tours its new presentation of the legendary Russian folktale THE FIREBIRD.
In The Firebird, a poor huntsman is crushed between survival and conscience inside a totalitarian kingdom ruled by a maniacal king—the ego made sovereign. An unlikely hero, the huntsman is fumbling, fearful, adaptive, and deeply human as we watch him fall into deeper complicity with the tyrannical regime. Gradually the tale reveals itself as a thorny initiation for a man seeking his own soul. What is ultimately asked of the huntsman (and of us all) is not courage, but surrender; not triumph, but the willingness to be undone.
