About this event

Plastic Ashes is a Los Angeles-based experimental performance collective utilizing music, dance, performance art, and video forms to create story in live spectacle. The Ballad of Isolde, a concert based on an electro-folk concept album (release date Fall 2025), illuminates the mythic journey of young Isolde as she breaks free from the plastic confines of her past, loses herself in the wilderness of her shadow self, and transforms. The music balances acoustic and electronic vibrations, taiko drums and trip-hop rhythm loops, ethereal harmonies and discordant vocalizations. Modern dance and ritual movement combine with film and image projection to bring the story to life.

Frequently asked questions

What are Taiko drums, and should I bring hearing protection?

Outside of Japan, 'Taiko' refers to various Japanese drums typically used for the style of ensemble playing called 'kumi-daiko'. This exciting drum style gets LOUD, and some members of the audience might wish to bring ear plugs or hearing protection.

Is there a dress code for the event?

No, but fanciful attire and/or costumes are encouraged.

Will there be late seating?

Yes, however this performance is story based, so try to be on time for the beginning of the tale.
