If you were at the Festival club in the Udderbelly on Sunday night, you may have seen a group of Czech performers dancing madly with members of Belgian dance collective Les Ballets C De La B.

These were Jolly Jumps, an award-winning physical theatre and dance company from Prague. This week they're making their Brighton debut with a show called NoAt The Train Station, and Czech national dancing is just one of its many components.

Following free taster performances at Oh So Social, this eight-person show is a mixed bag encompassing song, dance, mime and slapstick with a very large serving of the surreal. It's inspired by a scene from Tolstoy's Anna Karenina but the mood is madcap and uplifting.

In NoAt The Train Station, Anna Karenina comes to a small village train station in her wedding dress in order to kill herself. But the people there - including railwaymen, a cleaning lady and two train stewards - stop her and she ends up finding love in the most unexpected of places.

"Even people on the Prague theatre scene will tell you this company is absolutely unique," says Gilly Wadmore, a drama consultant who saw Jolly Jumps at the Prague Fringe and has helped bring them over for the Brighton Fringe Festival.

"It's so zany. There are things you'd never expect to see such as people in snorkels, and the sticks they use for the Czech folk dancing become the train tracks. They tap dance, too, and it's a bit like a musical. The energy is huge."
