FEAST is an intimate dinner party served and performed by Pony Cam.

You are invited for a night of appetite and excess.

Candles have been lit, chandeliers hung, and dishware made so shiny, you can see yourself in it.

The evening will include courses of food, a selection of wine, and classical music played live.

By the end you will have been treated to unforgivable transgressions performed with the utmost care.

You will not leave hungry.

This project received Cash to Create through the Fringe Fund, and was supported by John and Lorraine Bates, Rosemary Forbes and Ian Hocking, Rosemary Walls, Pinky Watson and a friend of Fringe.

Supported by Hobson's Bay City Council.

About Pony Cam

Pony Cam is 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.

Most recently we have been presented at Adelaide Festival (Grand Theft Theatre) and RISING (Burnout Paradise). The current line-up for Pony Cam is Claire Bird, Ava Campbell, William Strom, Dominic Weintraub and Hugo Williams.
