Tristan Allen's Osni the Flare at La MaMa

Tin Iso and the Dawn, the first installment of a mythic trilogy from Brooklyn-based composer and puppeteer Tristan Allen, emerged as both a full-length album and the original score to a live shadow puppet production.

Inspired by Wagner’s three act opera Tristan und Isolde, Tin Iso conjures an otherworldly cast of characters, chronicling a creation myth through mesmerizing production and ethereal instrumentation. A revelatory odyssey exploring the interplay of light / dark, Tin Iso stands as a singular piece of experimental storytelling, and an evocative moment in RVNG’s catalog.

Later his month, the next chapter of Tristan’s trilogy unfolds with the premiere of Osni the Flare, running November 20 – 23 at La MaMa in New York City. Created in conjunction with The Jim Henson Foundation, Osni tells the story of a dancing puppet who embarks on a quest to safeguard an apple tree from the imminent winter chill. An awe-inspiring journey through a multi-dimensional world, Osni the Flare is an experience not to be missed.
