Today’s post uses pictures found on the website of the Changzhou Grand Theatre. On Thursday evening, we went to the theatre in order to watch this Korean Martial Arts comedy performance.
As you can see already, JUMP is a good name for the production. These guys and girls were in the air for most of the performance. As for comedy, they kept us laughing the whole time, slapstick comedy at its best.
Underlying the comedy was the real athletic skill of each of these actors. The moves they made defied gravity as we understand it. Imagine that they leap into the air so high that they can do a 360 degree turn with out a tuck and add in a twist rotation as well as movements that suggest they are climbing and running on air. This was the move done by the white-haired and white-bearded director of the performance, the senior citizen of the cast.
Wow, that looks and sounds like a fantastic performance! You guys sure are lucky to have such a good venue for entertainment!
Very cool! They look like sensational athletes. The guy lying horizontal in the air looks the result of something positively ballistic!
