 | The cast of Jump
(© Yegam Theatre Company) | Jump, the internationally acclaimed martial arts theater event, will have its New York premiere at the Union Square Theatre on Tuesday, September 25, with an official opening set for Sunday, October 7.
Created by Korea's renowned Yegam Theatre Company, Jump premiered at the Woolim Theater of Seoul, Korea in 2003, where it is still enjoying an open run.
It has also played successful engagements in Israel, Hong Kong, Macao, Malaysia, Madrid, Edinburgh, Tokyo, Osaka, and London, with engagements set to commence in Russia, China, Malaysia, and Australia.
Set in the interior of a traditional Korean home, the show tells the story of an anything-but-typical family. Each member of the household, from the strict Grandfather to the pretty young daughter, enjoys nothing more than challenging the rest of the family to martial arts showdowns. When two burglars break into the house occupied by three generations of highly trained martial artists, the family turns their expertise on the unexpected guests.
The show's cast will be announced shortly. The design team for the New York production includes Tae-Young Kim (sets), Dolsilnai, Inc. (costumes), Jong-Wah Park and Sung-Bin Lim (lighting), Dong-June Lee (music), Gye-Hwan Park (martial arts choreography), and Pan Company (make-up design).
