Watch Anna and seven railwaymen dancing in this slapstick comedy on platform no. 2. They dance, sing and fall in love while meeting their destiny. Trains, rhythm, desire, motion, saying goodbye, waiting… No leaning out of windows though – too hazardous!Jolly Jumps is inspired by commedia dell’arte, silent comedy, ballet, pantomime, jazz, swing and step. Their hugely energetic and witty style makes them a treat for all ages.
“This octet of 20-something Czechs perform with big smiles, frenetic enthusiasm and barrels of humour. Inspired by a scene from Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, where the heroine kills herself on a railway line, this version sees Anna diverted from her fatal mission by an eccentric band of railway workers. The slapstick storyline ends so bizarrely you cannot fail to see the funny side.” The Argus
