MUST SEE
Maldoror
Seattle’s ever-innovative UMO Ensemble combines poetry, film, athleticism and outlandish imagination to illuminate its newest character: Maldoror, whose dark soul is brought to life by virtuoso acrobatics, zoomorphic costumes and experimental electronic music. Peek inside the mind of evil, if you dare.
9/13-9/15; 8pm. $12–$15. Northwest Film Forum; 1515 12th Ave., 206.329.2629; nwfilmforum.org

MUST POSE
Fashion First Seattle

Get a first look at fresh seasonal looks and new collections from local designers and retailers, including Canopy Blue, Mercer, Sway & Cake, Wraphabillement and more. While models work the runway at Showbox SoDo, you enjoy signature cocktails, mingling and the satisfaction that you’re helping raise funds for Rise n’ Shine, an organization that offers support to children with HIV/AIDS. 9/13; 8pm. More details here.

MUST HEAR
Hey  Marseilles
Catching a free concert from one of Seattle’s hottest local bands is the best reason to leave the office for a long lunch since the two-martini meeting. Whether you haven’t yet heard this folksy indie-pop entourage or are already a huge fan, pack a brown bag and head to Occidental Square. The last gasp of summer weather sweetens the pot. (Bonus: our photo editor Hayley Young directed the music video for their song “Rio”; watch it below!)
9/14, 12pm-1:30pm, Free. Occidental Square, Occidental Avenue South and S Main Street. downtownseattle.com
