MALACARNE originator, Alice Gosti has rewritten the meaning of “stage,” transforming steamboats, airplanes and churches into performance spaces. Each season MALACARNE has ventured into new spaces, creating ambitious performance rituals that bridge history and memory with architectural and emotional landscapes.

Last year, MALACARNE produced three site-specific immersive performances [Volunteer Park Conservatory, Seattle Center Monorail and Inscape Building], hosted a series of Fall workshops [Cornish Incubator Residency], and our dance film this is concrete has been accepted into 7 International Film Festivals.

In 2024, we’ll continue with our immersive site-responsive performances, including the sky is the same color everywhere or on the rapture of being alive, our most ambitious project to date.

Community collaboration is the literal scaffolding of our site-responsive performances.

Be part of bringing these dreams into reality by making a gift to MALACARNE today.

You are invited on Sunday, April 28th, 2024 to GATTO NERO - the party. This will be the culminating event of our crowdfunding campaign. Come, enjoy an evening of intimate performance, and let us celebrate you and all you do to make MALACARNE possible. 

MALACARNE is experimental dance and performance with the mission to co-author transformative performance and dance rituals that fight reductive ideas regarding class, sexuality, gender, ability and ethnicity. Alice Gosti is a transnational immigrant choreographer, curator, hybrid performance artist and a main collaborator of MALACARNE. Her site-responsive performance rituals and live art installations examine how history and politics enter the body and condition how we move and relate.
