WHAT REMAINS 10th Annual Immersive Series The NEW immersive experience at the Hermitage Museum & Gardens in association with ROŪGE. An intimate, audio-guided passage through a home where memories flicker, myths whisper, and nothing stays still. Step into What Remains—an immersive, audio-guided journey through a house alive with memory and myth. Guests witness a magical dinner, taste elixirs, and descend into a dark night of the soul, guided by light, sound, and story. Created by ROŪGE—the team behind Dream Clinic, Gretels, and Pride & Prejudice & Dragons—this reimagined Victorian fable rises from the ether, where invention meets possession and the past refuses to stay buried. Performances: Thursdays-Saturdays, March 19-April 4, 2026 Doors & Bar open at 6:30pm. Ticket times are at 7:00pm, 7:30pm, 8:00pm, and 8:30pm each evening. Please arrive at your scheduled time. Your journey will begin shortly after, with staggered entry based on arrival order. Feel free to linger in the bar until the house is ready for you. Show lasts roughly one hour.
