The Cultch: Burnout Paradise
Burnout Paradise is equal parts celebration, chaos, and cardio.
Melbourne’s inventive theatre collective Pony Cam takes the stage in the most unconventional way. Four performers mount four treadmills. As they sprint, sweat, and juggle life’s endless to-do lists, they tackle an escalating series of everyday tasks—cooking pasta, brushing teeth, quoting Shakespeare, even filling out a grant application—all while running in place.
The result is both a hilariously unpredictable night of fun and an unravelling realisation that the chaos of modern life was not designed for us.
Pony Cam takes the daily grind and turns it into a wildly entertaining ride. You’ll laugh, you’ll cheer, and you might even join in.
“It’s sheer bedlam in the most magnificent way, with the very nature of the show meaning the impending disaster trail will unravel wildly differently every night.”
