Union Square Theater

Don't let the title fool you - Jump isn't just about jumping. It's about flipping... and 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 drunken uncle, the pretty but spitfire daughter and the no-nonsense mother - love nothing more than to challenge each other to Tae Kwan Do matches and display their acrobatic talents.

This hobby is put to good use when two burglars break into their home and get to experience the family's talent first hand - literally. This is a rare opportunity to see the kind of action-packed scenes you'd see in Jackie Chan and "Matrix" movies, but see the LIVE. No second-takes, wires or special effects for these martial arts and comic masters Jump is one-part silent comedy, one-part kung fu and one-part acrobatic display, every ounce of it thrill-filled entertainment.
