Help us spread the magic of creating!You are receiving this because you have already donated to our spell for art + abundance, and for that we THANK YOU! Grazie infinite! We are reaching out to ask you to spread the message of this spell and help harness the power of our community! We have 5 days left, and about 40% of our goal left to raise. The funds raised through this campaign will primarily fund our next project, the sky is the same everywhere or on the rapture of being alive. This is by far our biggest project to date, AND it will be completely FREE for all audience members. We also currently have a TRIPLE MATCH CHALLENGE from two anonymous donors--meaning any donations made in the next 48 hours will get *tripled* in size IF we can raise $2,000! If we can make this campaign goal, we can cover expenses, pay these incredible artists their worth, and make sure this work is born as a gift to this city I have called home for half my life.Please share the news of this campaign and help us realize new work here in Seattle! Link to donate: https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/malacarne/campaigns/6291 And you can still buy a ticket to our cabaret party this Sunday! |
I expect us all to create extraordinary futures.
This is your chance to *make magic with us.*

MALACARNE is one of the manifestations of Alice Gosti’s work. She is a transnational immigrant choreographer, curator, DJ, hybrid performance artist. Her site-responsive performance rituals and live art installations examine how history, politics, architecture and place enter the body and condition how we move and relate.
MALACARNE, a Seattle-based performance and experimental dance ensemble that performs socio-political spectacles in historic and significant spaces, is raising $30,000 in two weeks for our 2024 season.

"MALACARNE's work inspires and energizes me. I feel stimulated and engaged–it sparks curiosity and a sense of wonder." –Anonymous Audience Member, 2023
MALACARNE is known to challenge the meaning of “stage,” transforming steamboats, airplanes and churches into performance spaces. The 2024 season is no different, with MALACARNE venturing into a new exciting space, creating an ambitious in-person epic large scale performance ritual that bridges history and memory with architectural and emotional landscapes. This season, MALACARNE is exploring DOWNTOWN SEATTLE and what it means to revitalize a historic neighborhood that is so central to our community.
