Skydive
What would you risk to live out your dreams?
A clear blue sky. From far above, the distant sound of a receding airplane. Two men, a house-bound agoraphobe desperate for change and his brother, the lead singer for an '80s cover band begging for recognition, tumble at terminalvelocity in the midst of a skydiving adventure gone terribly wrong.In the terrifying 30 seconds of freefall before impact, the men struggle to untangle the threads of their dysfunctional relationship, long-abandoned dreams, and the Jungian interpretations of Madonna, Van Halen and CoreyHart.
Written by Governor General's Award-winning playwright Kevin Kerr, Skydive is an action-adventure-comedy that pushes our limits of perception to the breaking point. Defying gravity in theatre by using Sven Johansson's ESDance Instruments, Skydive literally raises the bar and makes a quadriplegic fly.
