eTown presents The ReMemberers in THE FIREBIRD, a thousand-year-old Russian folktale reimagined as an experience that blends theater, concert, and ceremony. The trio weaves ritual storytelling, global song, and multi-instrumental artistry to bring ancestral myths into the present. Violet Southard’s luminous voice, Alex Harvey’s resonant strings, and John de Kadt’s rhythmic tales guide a journey that begins with a traditional wisdom story and turns inward through music drawn from around the world. THE FIREBIRD follows a poor huntsman whose fleeting sight of the legendary bird sets an irrevocable path. Compelled by the demands of a tyrannical king, he drifts into complicity with authoritarian power while relying on the counsel of a talking horse. A distant call persists within him to uncover what lies beneath everything. Bravery alone will not suffice, nor will calm... only a willingness to be utterly remade. The artists bring deep backgrounds to the stage. Filmmaker, musician, and folklorist Alex Harvey creates myth-centered performance and plays across styles from Ragtime to South American folk to sea shanties. Singer, songwriter, and voice ceremonialist Violet Southard channels vocal traditions rooted in nature, ancestral song, and her Mohawk lineage, and she facilitates sound-based healing for individuals and groups. Percussionist, poet, and storyteller John de Kadt blends world percussion, spoken word, and mythic narrative; across five albums he has surpassed 130 million streams worldwide, he founded BlessFest, previously performed with The Hanumen, and has shared DrumStory internationally for more than twenty-five years. All ages are welcome. Tickets are nonrefundable and cannot be exchanged. eTown is committed to accessibility and can arrange ADA accommodations with advance notice. Each ticket supports the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota through a 1 dollar donation to Conscious Alliance, benefiting hunger relief, youth programs, and sustainable solutions for the Oglala Lakota Nation.

In honor of the nation’s 250th year and Colorado’s 150th, Motus Theater presents an interactive Playback Theater event that turns community stories into onstage art. Louisville residents are invited to offer brief memories and reflections about family, migration, love, land, loss, resilience, and belonging. The performance explores how these local narratives connect with the histories of the country, the state, and our democracy. Motus Playback actors will immediately interpret the shared stories through movement, music, and spoken word, shaping individual experiences into a collective moment of recognition and connection. Each gathering becomes a living conversation where many paths, perspectives, and histories meet. Stories may be lighthearted or heavy, newly discovered or long remembered, deeply personal or widely familiar. Audience members and performers work together to create a one-of-a-kind experience grounded in careful listening, imagination, and civic connection. Speaking is optional, and whether someone contributes a story or simply bears witness, every presence adds meaning as the group reflects on the past and present while envisioning the future.
