Olympic Gene

T1024140214
Becky Brunning and her great-grandfather William LeBeau were born exactly 100 years apart. He won a medal for gymnastics in the 1912 Stockholm Olympics; she can see* the London 2012 stadium from her bedroom window. Inspired by such fortuitous serendipity, and not wanting to ignore destiny, she embarks on a spirited quest of rediscovery. A unique and Herculean mix of physical storytelling, object puppetry, stand-up comedy and all-out gymnastic fury that celebrates the legacies we all leave, Olympic or otherwise.
