Five performers. Four treadmills. One chance to beat the clock. What begins as a simple wager between performer and audience becomes a desperate attempt to complete a series of escalating tasks that push the limits of human ability. BURNOUT PARADISE is part comedy show, part endurance feat, part performance art – but more than anything, it’s a euphoric, visceral celebration of our tendency to run full tilt towards life’s endless challenges. Now playing as a new Off-Broadway show in Astor Place, New York, BURNOUT PARADISE offers a high-energy, unpredictable theatre experience unlike anything else currently on stage. Tickets are on sale now.
Audience Role
This show relies on the kindness of strangers. Burnout Paradise is intended for ages 8 and up. Children under 5 are not permitted. All guests must have a ticket.
Ages: 10 +

About Pony Cam
We are an award winning experimental collective of five theatre makers from around Australia. Our work is driven by a desire to bring people together to create experiences that could not otherwise be had. By subverting well-known forms, activating unexpected spaces, and inviting audiences into our work in unexpected ways, we create moments where audiences are challenged to question their assumptions, laugh at themselves, and reject habitual recourse. As an ensemble we have trained together for over five years, and our practice is instinctive, physical, and highly playful. No two of our works are formally the same, but each is driven by a desire to reimagine our impact in the world, find joy in community, remain utterly silly and laugh in the face of tragedy. The current line up for Pony Cam is Claire Bird, Ava Campbell, William Strom, Dominic Weintraub and Hugo Williams.
