AAA (werktitel)
By Jana Jacuka
At AAA (working title) Jana explores the voice as a choreographic instrument. The voice becomes an extension of her body, and her breath a means of communicating with the audience.
When the doors close and we find ourselves together in a single space – where we share the same air, breath and information – every sound becomes part of that shared space.
AAA takes its starting point in the vocal practice of yodelling, a singing technique that resists the attempt to stabilise the voice and instead embraces instability. Through extreme vocal exercises and unpredictable yodelling turns, she oscillates between control and loss of control, both in voice and body, inviting the audience to an experience that is both physically felt and heard.
Jana Jacuka is a choreographer and performer originally from Latvia, currently based in Amsterdam. She explores the voice as a form of choreography and creates performances almost from scratch, giving the body and the voice the leading role. As well as having her work shown in the Netherlands, she is in great demand abroad. Her previous work HA was the source of inspiration for The Fortress by Dries Verhoeven for the Dutch pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale.
