"“JUMP” is a non-verbal, 80-minute hyperactive sitcom. From the same producer of the recent sell-out show “BREAKOUT”, it promises audiences action of the kind they would see in cross between Jackie Chan and the Matrix movies, live on stage, without the use of harnesses or any special computerized effects. 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."
My opinion:
Super good. Excellent. It's one of the few performances that makes you laugh real hard. If the same people ever come back again for a different performance, I die die will watch. And if Jump comes back for the 3rd time to Singapore, please go watch it! My friend and I had excellent seats! Middle and Foyer stalls. Quite pricey though.
I love the arts, not all forms, mainly the musicals, plays, choral, and dances. I always gripe how pricey they are though. There's a saying, 'the arts are for the rich'. It's a little true, I think. A girl, in ICC class today, said that Singaporeans generally don't appreciate the arts, and that has led to certain characteristics in our culture. I wanted to argue but I didn't. Everytime I attend one of these things, it's always full house. If the arts aren't patronized, attendance would be bad. So, i theorize that it's usually the same kind of people who go for these artsy fartsy stuff. I try to be this kind of people sometimes, consequently burning a hole in my wallet though.
Next up, I'll be watching Defending the Cavemen!
