BURNOUT PARADISE

Bondi Pavillion Theatre, Bondi Festival 2024
In an escalating series of tasks performed on four treadmills, Pony Cam enacts the recklessness, euphoria and optimism that comes before burnout in Burnout Paradise.

Following sold out shows at Melbourne Fringe and RISING, Pony Cam bring their hilarious and award-wining show ‘Burnout Paradise’ to Bondi Festival! What begins as a simple wager between performer and audience becomes a desperate attempt to complete a series of escalating tasks that confront the limitations of the performer’s bodies, spirits and minds. This is not an endurance feat, nor is it performance art, it is an unraveling realization that the system we participate in is not designed for us. A delusional and physical celebration of our collective struggle to establish clear boundaries in our lives!

“One of the most frenetically uproarious shows you will ever experience” ★★★★★ TIME OUT

“An admin apocalypse is upon the Pony Cam crew as they tackle arts funding in this unhinged and unmissable Fringe show. If watching an arts grant application’s arcane and inscrutable complexities in real-time – complete with the attached Excel budget spreadsheet – isn’t your idea of a gripping thriller, think again!” ★★★★★ SA Russell Words
