VIEW TRAILER & REGISTER NOW through our ticketing page! The ReMemberers are a multidisciplinary performance collective weaving ritual storytelling, sacred song, and live instrumentation into a prismatic experience of traditional myth and memory. Part theatre, part concert, part ceremony, their gatherings awaken ancient stories from folkloric and mystical traditions, carried by music that is both ancestral and original. Their latest offering, The Lindworm, draws from an old Scandinavian tale—a myth of transformation, reconciliation, and the quiet power of the wild feminine. At its center is a serpent born of secrecy and longing, whose appearance unsettles a kingdom. It is not through force, but through the deep instincts of a fearless shepherdess, that the healing begins. This is a story not just told, but felt—a mirror to the inner work of shedding what no longer serves and reclaiming what was once forgotten. Featuring the numinous voice of Annie Southard, the global instrumentation of Alex Harvey, and the rhythmic storytelling of John de Kadt, The ReMemberers offer a space of immersive listening. For many, their performances unfold like a meditation—drawing the listener into stillness, memory, and quiet revelation. The result is less a show than a ceremony - the artists often call it “prayer-formance”: a shared experience that touches the personal, ancestral, and collective all at once. The Lindworm is an invitation to soften, to receive, and to remember. Within the container of rhythm, story, and song, a space opens—for resonance, reflection, and renewal.
