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 desperate for recognition, tumble at terminal velocity in the midst of a skydiving adventure gone terribly wrong.

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 ES Dance Instruments, Skydive literally raises the bar and makes a quadriplegic fly. This PuSh Festival-commissioned production returns for an extended run, following success on tour and critical acclaim.
