BIOS
Tristan Allen is a composer and puppeteer building a world through the storytelling power of instrumental music and movement. With a background in piano, bass, electronic music, and marionette theater, Tristan creates rich works of wordless fantasy. Tristan’s debut, Tin Iso and the Dawn, began a trilogy of creation myths through shadow puppetry and sound. Now, the sequel Osni the Flare moves beyond shadow – wielding rod, body, and light puppetry to illuminate the origins of fire, life, and death. Osni will dance a luminous blaze into being.
