JUMP- Korean Comic Martial Arts Performance

The highly-acclaimed Korean Comic Martial Arts Performance JUMP will once again storm Singapore with exhilarating performances this September!

Hold your breath as jaw-dropping, gasp-inducing flips, punches and kicks are executed in a gut-busting manner. No second-takes, wires or special effects. Dont blink or youll miss it! Produced by Show & Arts Inc., JUMP is a non-verbal, hyperactive sitcom promising audience the kind of action they would see in a cross between Jackie Chan and the Matrix, LIVE on stage! An entirely new and creative genre, JUMP expertly blends Asian martial arts including Taekwondo - the ancient Korean martial arts form with dazzling acrobatics and a healthy dose of uproarious slapstick humour into an action-packed, family-friendly production.

JUMP tells the story of a Korean family well-versed in martial arts, with a crotchety grandfather who enjoys nothing more than challenging the rest of the family to martial arts showdowns. The family uses its unique expertise to repel two burglars who break into their house, to hilarious effect -- showing off their extensive training in martial arts, acrobatic and gymnastic moves, as well as comic acting all at the same time. Featuring a cast of top performers who have under gone years of extensive martial arts and gymnastic training under the guidance of Koreas Womens National Gymnastics team coach, JUMP is guaranteed to keep audiences riveted to the edge of their seats!

Designed to appeal to people of all ages and across all cultures, JUMP has been an instant hit wherever it has performed internationally. Over 4,000 performances have been staged and more than 1.5 million audiences have watched performances in various countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, China, Hong Kong and Malaysia. JUMP played for a year at Union Square Theatre of Broadway, while there was also a season at the Peacock Theatre in West-End for one of its annual regular events from 2006 to 2008. It bagged the number one spot at the box office at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it ran in 2005 and 2006; JUMP also won the festivals Comedy Award!

The Evening Standard called it a laugh-aloud martial arts caper with spoof-tastic special effects, self-deprecating humour and ring-ding acrobatics. Dont miss their limited appearance in Singapore this September.
