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. *sort of. And definitely if that building in front
wasn't there.
