Burnout Paradise Story

Four performers mount treadmills. What begins as a simple wager between performer and audience, becomes a thrilling attempt to complete a series of escalating tasks that challenge the performers’ spirits, bodies, and minds. Burnout Paradise combines all the things New Yorkers hold dear: people watching, competition, rolling up one’s sleeves to get the job done, cheering on the underdogs, a three-course meal, and an unreplicatable evening out. With potency and showmanship, Pony Cam enacts the recklessness, euphoria, and optimism that comes before burnout – while activating a collective experience with the audience that could not otherwise be had… and won’t happen exactly that way ever again.
