Cult Of Aerobics

Ever hated yourself? Great! Welcome to the Cult.   
Cult of Aerobics is your glitter-drenched gateway drug to self-improvement, groupthink, and really good abs.  

Join the charismatic leader on a high-energy journey through aerobics, obsession, and the dark side of perfection. With infectious choreography, biting humour and a suspicious amount of spandex, this immersive spectacle dares you to sweat it out, laugh it off, and maybe – just maybe - finally love yourself. Or at least love your reflection.  

At its core, this immersive experience asks: How far are we willing to go to be seen, accepted, and adored? Combining dark humour with raw vulnerability, the show peels back the layers of performative wellness culture and confronts the often invisible pressures to conform.   
Audience members are not just observers—they’re invited to sweat, laugh, and participate. As reality and performance intertwine, Cult of Aerobics becomes a mirror ball reflecting our collective obsession with transformation, both physical and personal. In this glitter-drenched, cardio-fueled odyssey, the true workout lies in reclaiming oneself in a world that demands perfection.
