The Adventures of Prince Achmed
(Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed) is a 1926 feature-length animated
cartoon by the German animator Lotte Reiniger. It is the oldest
surviving feature-length animated cartoon, and it features a
silhouette animation technique Reiniger had invented which involved
manipulated cutouts made from cardboard and thin sheets of lead
under a camera. The story is based on the elements taken from the
collection 1001 Arabian Nights, specifically The Story of Prince
Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanou. With the assistance of Aladdin, the
Witch of the Fiery Mountain, and a magic horse, the title character
battles the evil African sorcerer to win the hand of Princess Peri
Banu.
Tiger Saw
is a musical collective founded in Newburyport, MA in 1999 by Dylan
Metrano. It is an ever-changing group of friends, whose ranks can
vary to form a hushed duet or fifteen-person orchestra. In 2000 and
2002, they wrote and performed their original score to F. W.
Murnau's 1922 classic silent film Nosferatu. They have collaborated
with Exit Dance Theater, and written music for various short films.
For this production, Tiger Saw will include Metrano, Chris Barrett,
Dylan Clark, and Erik Tans on a variety of instruments; including
trumpet, piano, guitar, bass, percussion, melodica, and more.
