Skydive is a unique theatrical presentation that is staged with the two performers soaring above the stage floor for the entire length of the play. The story unfolds in the 30 seconds of a skydiving free-fall gone horribly wrong. In the stretched out perception of time in a crisis, the story travels back in time to the events that led up to the disastrous jump when Morgan, a frontman for an ‘80’s cover band, decides to help his reclusive agoraphobic brother, Daniel, escape his spiraling descent into fear-bound paralysis by a therapy technique that involves jumping from an airplane in order to face one’s fears.

With breathtaking aerial choreography, cinematic action sequences, and a cheeky soundtrack of 80’s pop, Skydive is a celebration of the power of imagination in the pursuit of the universal dream to fly.
