Burnout Paradise

Four performers on four treadmills celebrate the optimistic stages before burnout.

Past Event

  • Created and Performed by: Pony Cam

Performance collective Pony Cam will mount four treadmills in a exhaustive celebration.

After winning last year’s Best In Theatre Award (Grand Theft Theatre), they are back with a sweaty new show.

Burnout Paradise is an escalating series of challenges performed on four escalating treadmills.

A physical and cathartic celebration of the euphoric optimism that comes before burnout.

An unravelling realisation that the system we participate in is not designed for us.

Burnout Paradise is not a stage adaptation of the hit 2008 racing game from the same name.
