JUMP isn’t just about jumping. It’s also about flipping, punching and kicking all executed in a jaw-dropping, gasp-inducing and gut-busting manner. This London and Fringe Festival hit has finally landed in New York – and landed with gravity-defying ease. Although JUMP is set in a traditional Korean home, its inhabitants are anything but. The entire family – the strict grandfather, the no-nonsense mother, the drunken uncle, the daughter and her suitor – love nothing more than to challenge each other in martial arts and acrobatic displays. Their skills are put to good use when burglars break into their home and get to experience the family’s talent first hand.
This is a rare opportunity to see the kind of action you’d see in Jackie Chan and Matrix™ movies, but see it LIVE. No second-takes, wires or special effects for these actors who went through years of extensive martial arts training. JUMP is one-part silent comedy, one-part kung fu flick and one-part gymnastic display, every ounce of it thrill-filled entertainment.
