Jump

Dir. Kalyan Piovesan Toussaint

Jump follows the story of Fay as she cleans out her childhood home with her Dad and sister Judy. Their storied past and broken relationships are uncovered and as time phases and contorts, Fay reflects on the bridge she used to walk with her mother and sister and where she meets Hopkins. In Jump, playwright Charly Evon Simpson shows how, through the lens of one’s single-sided life narrative, internal struggles of grief and addiction can both break and heal relationships.
