about

'Orphan' was a performance by Alba Boustanji (alias Iccoffale) during the graduation show of Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam in 2021, Fine Arts department. It was based on improvisation within a set framework, focused on the space and time in which it took place. Elements such as spectators, (non-linear) narrative, characters, ‘I’, costumes, objects, (intervening) sound, physical movement, and intervals played unfixed roles that moved in and out of phase throughout the piece and created varying compositions. The encountered and thoroughly studied characters drove the improvisation and dealt with chaos and harmony, death and life; possession, stagnation, congested grief, exhaustion, numbness, confusion, fear, captivity, inner freedom, awareness, release, and balance.
Every time the piece was performed, differently, the knot between the characters - and in parallel between the people present - became loosened, or tightened. An important research question was whether a situation as such can create openness towards the depths of our humanness, and towards interconnection within fragmentation. The sound that supported this piece now remains as a relic of the performances and can travel on independently, while carrying the memory of all that happened within.
