“Jump,” a popular show from South Korea, will hit Shenzhen Poly Theater on May 30. Based on the traditional South Korean martial arts of taekkyeon and taekwondo, this hilarious show tells the story of a martial arts family who encounter thieves in their house one night.
“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.
From the producer of BreakOut comes a non-verbal and non-stop action performance that is as much a display of martial arts, hip-hop, slapstick comedy and infectious tunes.
“Jump” is a hyperactive sitcom promising audiences the kind of action they would see in a cross between Jackie Chan and “The Matrix” on stage. An entirely new and creative genre, “Jump” expertly blends ancient Korean martial arts with dazzling acrobatics into an action-packed, family-friendly production.
