TAMPA — “Burnout Paradise” will be presented Dec. 10-14, in Jaeb Theater at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts, 1010 N. W.C. MacInnes Place, Tampa.
Tickets start at $40.80. Visit strazcenter.org.
“Burnout Paradise” is a comedy show, a challenge show and a cardio workout all in one. Members of Australian comedy troupe Pony Cam will take the stage and take on the treadmills, upon which they must complete increasingly difficult tasks. Volunteers from the audience will be invited to help the contestants.
Pony Cam describes the experience as “the recklessness, euphoria and optimism that comes before burnout” live on stage, on treadmills.
Pony Cam is known for bold, high-energy performances that blur the lines between theatre and physical endurance. Their work is evocative, unflinching, and deeply human — earning them a reputation as one of the most exciting experimental theatre companies of their generation.
