On October 20th, 1968, at the Olympic Games in Mexico City, a high jumper thwarted convention by proposing an unprecedented movement. After consultation, the judges approved the jump. The American Dick Fosbury, 21 years old, was crowned Olympic champion. This show uses this cult movement as a choreographic allegory of transgression.
Dancers, real jumpers and elderly people take over in this piece that shatters the boundary between sports and dance movement.
