Korean Comic Martial Arts Performance - JUMP



Last sunday ( 1st July 07 ) evening i watched this performance at The Esplanade Threater.

This is a laugh-till-you-drop performance, the threater was full. You could hear laughter from the second it started.... I was one of them laughing non-stop till the show ended. If I were to rate this performance, i would give 4.5 out of 5, the only setback was those short dialogue. Though it was a mute show, but there were still some simple interactions with the audience. Unfortunately, they weren't clear. Other than this, it was all perfection..... acting, stunts, timing, sound effect, even the 2 part-timers, helping to arrange furnitures... they were involved too...haha...

This is the first time, JUMP has staged in Singapore and there were 4 shows, 2 each on 30th June ( Sat ) and 1st July ( Sun ), one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Before it came to Singapore, it has performanced in many cities, like Tokyo, London, HK, Edinburgh etc.. All got good reviews and tickets were sold-out.

About the story...... hmmm.... i think i better paste the story here captured from its web site... ( just click on the graphic, it will enlarge )



The scene I like most was the slow motion play, when the grandfather speed up to block the burglars from running away. The back scene where all the family members were, also in slow motion, trying to grab anything static preventing from blown away by the grandfather's powerful speeding winds.... hahaha... it was so comical....

If you like to know more about JUMP, you may visit its web site for more information http://www.hijump.co.kr/eng/jump01.asp

Next time, if it comes to Singapore again, don't miss it...... I am very sure you will thank me for this information....heeheehee....
