The creators of Jump are debuting an extreme new dance production, Break Out, in Union Square Theatre, the former home of De La Guarda. Korean B-boy crews have choreographed a combination of yoga, hip-hop, slapstick, and gymnastics aimed at fully involving the audience in this dance spectacle. A mostly silent comedy, it traces desperate prisoners' attempted jail break. With the help of an ancient scroll, they imagine a way to dance out of confinement, wearing nun costumes and any other available ephemera. Break Out is fun for the whole family — be sure to bring your inner child.
