Carriageworks: BURGERZ
9 January 2026 @ 8:00 pm - 9:15 pm AEDT

Winner of the Total Theatre Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, BURGERZ has been a sell-out sensation across the world since 2018.
After someone threw a burger at them and shouted a transphobic slur, performance artist Travis Alabanza became obsessed with burgers. How they are made, how they feel, and smell. How they travel through the air. How the mayonnaise feels on your skin. This hilarious and heartbreaking show explores how trans people survive and reclaims an act of violence with a side of serious bite.
Since the debut of BURGERZ, Alabanza has received international critical acclaim and numerous awards as an author, playwright, and performer.
